Pictures

When the camera is zoomed all the way in, hold the button down for about two seconds to enlarge the image digitally (digital zoom; 63). When digital zoom is in effect, the autofocus lamp next to the viewfinder will blink and the zoom indicator will turn yellow to warn you to frame pictures in the monitor.

Monitor or Viewfinder?

Use the monitor to confirm camera settings at a glance while at the same time viewing an image that shows how the final picture will appear. This is particularly important when the image in the viewfinder does not accurately reflect what will appear in the final picture, for example when:

•focusing at ranges of less than 90 cm (2´11˝)

•using digital zoom ( 63), an image size setting of 3 : 2 ( 103), or an optional converter lens ( 150)

When using the monitor, you also have the advantage of being able to frame pictures with the camera held at almost any angle. You can even point the camera at yourself and frame a quick self-portrait in the monitor.

The viewfinder can be used when bright ambient lighting conditions make the display in the moni- tor difficult to see. When framing pictures in the viewfinder at ranges of around 60 cm (2´) or less, be sure to use the smaller of the two frames in the viewfinder display.
