Using the Viewfinder

Use the viewfinder to frame pictures when bright light makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.

BThe 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; A110, 138)

•When digital zoom is applied (A25, 129)

•When shooting at an image size of I (3,984 × 2,656), G (3,968 × 2,232), or H (2,992 × 2,992)
