Points to Remember
Viewfinder Discrepancies Depending on Distance
The image as seen through the viewfinder does not always match up
with the final picture depending on the distance between the subject
and the camera.
When shooting subjects 1.5m (59
″) to ∞, the viewfinder picture frame
shows the area that can be shot. However, the picture area will move
lower in the viewfinder as you get closer to the subject. Zooming in
(pulling the zoom lever towards T) makes this discrepancy even larger.
When shooting close-ups, you can determine the exact picture area by
viewing the monitor. However, it is more difficult to hold the camera
steady using the monitor, which may result in blurry images. The
batteries will also drain more quickly.
NOTE
• Use the macro function when shooting particularly close objects (from
around 20 to 80cm) (p.55).
Subjects Difficult to Get in Focus
In most cases you need not worry about focusing a shot, as the
autofocus feature takes care of most situations.
However, focusing is more difficult under conditions 1 to 3 listed on the
next page. In such cases, the green lamp next to the viewfinder will
blink to indicate the shot is out of focus. Additionally, in conditions 4 and
5, a picture may still be out of focus even though the green lamp lights
up to indicate that the subject is focused correctly. Under condition 6, it
will be the background, not the subject, that is in focus.
