Since parallax occurs when using
the optical viewfinder for macro
photography, we recommend that
you use the LCD monitor to
compose your photographs when
shooting extreme closeups.
* Parallax refers to the difference
between what is seen in the
viewfinder and the actual image
recorded through the camera’s
taking lens.
Take care, however, since very
close subjects may receive
excessive exposure. In this
case, use the exposure
compensation function to
compensate the exposure.
