• Always use the LCD monitor to compose images in macro mode. Shooting with
the viewfinder is possible, though, the parallax phenomenon (p. 36) may cause
images composed with the optical viewfinder to be off-center.
• When the lens is zoomed out to the maximum wide angle, the recordable area is
approximately 108
