CAUTION

œDue to the distance between the viewfinder and the lens, as the camera gets closer to the subject, the image that is actually recorded becomes lower and more to the left in the viewfinder area. Therefore, it is recommended that when taking close-range pictures you compose the picture by viewing it on the LCD monitor.
