Using the Viewfinder
Use the viewfinder to frame pictures when bright light
makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.
BNotes on the Viewfinder
As the area visible in the viewfinder may differ from that of the final picture, use the monitor to frame pictures in the following situations:
•When shooting at ranges of about 1 m (3 ft. 3 in.) or less
•When a converter lens is used (available separately from Nikon; A149, 179)
•When digital zoom is applied (A27)
•When shooting at an Image size (A126) of I4224×2816, G4224×2376 or H3168×3168
