When to use the monitor and viewfinder
Understanding the characteristics of the monitor and viewfinder will help you to decide which to use in certain situations.
Viewfinder Camera shake does not occur easily and subjects can be seen Advantages clearly even in dark places. Little battery power is used. When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a Disadvantages little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Use the viewfinder for general Best use snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.). Monitor You can check the picture area that the camera actually records more accurately. Camera shake can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Use when taking macro pictures or close-ups of a person or flower.
Precautions of taking pictures using the viewfinder
Even if the subject seems well positioned in the center when viewed through the viewfinder, the composition of the resulting picture may differ from the intended composition. This phenomenon is what is known as parallax. Parallax is caused by the difference in the position of the subject seen through the viewfinder and the position of the subject captured by the lens. Here is an example of how parallax works.
Subject seen through the viewfinder
Subject captured by the lens
The closer the subject, the greater the parallax. For macro shooting, therefore, we recommend using the monitor. The camera records a wider area than seen in the viewfinder. When shooting, you can turn off the monitor. g Turning off the monitor (MONITOR OFF) (P.51)
Focusing on a subject that is not in the center of the frame (Focus lock)
When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the viewfinder and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below. This is called focus lock.

LANDSCAPE + PORTRAIT K Suitable for taking photos of both your subject and the landscape.
LANDSCAPE L Lets you take clear and sharp pictures of distant scenery. Creates a very broad depth of field to keep the entire view in focus. NIGHT SCENE m
Suitable for taking pictures of night views such as illuminated buildings.
The maximum shutter speed is not fixed at 1/30 seconds even when the flash is activated and may be extended up to 4 seconds depending on the subject and the shooting conditions. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement when the shutter speed is slow.
INDOOR H The flash is set to reach farther away for taking pictures indoors. [W: Approx. 5.1m (16.7ft):T: Approx. 2.8m (9.2ft)] However, the record mode is limited to 1280 960. BEACH & SNOW F Suitable for taking pictures at a beach or in snow. Lets you take beautiful pictures of scenery with white sand or snow.
CUISINE G Lets you take beautiful pictures of food. The saturation, sharpness and contrast settings are increased to take sharp, vivid pictures of the subject.
SELF-PORTRAIT o Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera.

The white balance feature may not be effective under some special light sources, such situations where multiple lights are used. If you set a white balance mode other than AUTO, play back the picture and check the colors on the monitor. When the flash is fired with a white balance setting other than AUTO, colors may appear different in the resulting picture from those in the image you see on the monitor. Set the white balance to 5 or 3 to capture a sunrise or sunset with beautiful reddish tones.
Adjusting the settings to suit a bright/dark subject (
If your subject is extremely bright or dark, or if there is a considerable difference between the brightness of the subject and the brightness of the background, you can adjust the brightness using the exposure compensation feature. You can adjust the brightness between +2.0 and 2.0 in 1/3 steps.
Press to go to the exposure compensation settings.
Press or to select the exposure compensation value.
: Adjusts towards [+] to give a brighter image. : Adjusts towards [] to give a darker image.
The selected exposure compensation value is set.
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting towards [+] makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust towards [] when shooting dark subjects. We recommend that you return the exposure compensation value to 0 after taking a picture with an adjusted exposure compensation.
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the intended brightness (exposure).
When the brightness of the subject and background differ(
Taking backlighted pictures may result in darkened faces or other foreground objects. Using spot metering in such situations will ensure that the subject is clear regardless of the background light.
ESP (no indication) Spot (n) Meters the center of the screen and the area around it separately to obtain the optimum exposure. Meters only the center of the screen to obtain the appropriate exposure for the subject in the center.
