Advanced (Recording pictures)

∫Out-of-frame display

Recording information is displayed on the bottom and right edges of the screen. You can therefore concentrate on the subject when taking pictures without being obstructed by information displayed on the screen.

∫Diopter adjustment

Adjust the diopter to suit your vision so that you can see the Viewfinder clearly.

Look at the display on the Viewfinder and rotate the diopter adjustment dial to where the screen is clearest.

∫Monitor priority

When [PLAY ON LCD] is set to [ON] on the [SETUP] menu (P35), the LCD monitor is turned on when switching from Recording Mode to Playback Mode.

You can save the time it would take to switch the display to the LCD monitor even when using the Viewfinder to record.

∫Recording guide line

When you align the subject on the horizontal and vertical guide lines or the cross point of these lines, you can take pictures with well-designed composition by viewing the size, the slope and the balance of the subject.

A[ ]: This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a well-balanced composition.

B[ ]: This is used when you want to position the subject at the exact center of the screen.
