•The image through the finder does not indicate the actual recordable range. To confirm the recordable range, use the LCD screen.

•Just as with the AE/AF lock indicator on the LCD screen, when the AE/AF lock lamp of the finder section stops flashing and remains on, you can start shooting (page 21).

•When the LCD screen is turned off:

–The smart zoom does not function (page 23).

–The AF Mode is set to [Single] (page 47).

–If you press (Flash mode)/ (Self-timer)/ (Macro), the image will be displayed on the LCD screen for approximately two

seconds so you can check or change the setting.

•For a detailed description of the indicators, see page 124.

•For a detailed description of the histogram, see page 50.

•This setting is maintained even when the power is turned off.
