1
Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your fingers and other objects away
from the lens, AF-assist illuminator, microphone, speaker and
m (flash pop-up) button.
2
Frame the picture.
Position the main subject near the center of the monitor.
Using the Electronic Viewfinder
Use the electronic viewfinder to frame pictures when bright light makes it difficult
to see the display in the LCD monitor. Press
x to switch to the electronic
viewfinder ( A 13).
When the diopter for the electronic viewfinder is out of focus, rotate the diopter
adjustment control to the position in which the subject is most visible (
A 13).
Using the Zoom
Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate
the zoom control to
f (h) to zoom out, increasing
the area visible in the frame, or
g (i) to zoom in so that
the subject fills a larger area of the frame.
Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction will adjust the zoom quickly, while rotating
the control partially will adjust the zoom slowly.
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is rotated.
