Shooting

Using the viewfinder

This camera utilizes a viewfinder with a miniature LCD, and a 3.45-inch LCD monitor.

Use them according to application and shooting conditions.

••Brightness and hue of images in the viewfinder and the LCD monitor may sometimes differ from those on a TV monitor.

Check final images with a TV monitor.

•Less than 0.01% of the pixels in the LCD may not light or remain on all the time. They are not defective, and will have no effect on the images you record.

•Screen burn-in may occur in the LCD monitor, however, this is not a defect.
