Switching between the

monitor and viewfinder

Both the monitor and viewfinder are available to

compose a shot. There may be cases where the

monitor is difficult to see due to bright light being

reflected on it while shooting under a clear sky.

In such cases, use of the view finder is helpful

when composing a shot.
