Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken. When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in shadow may appear colored.
Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Viewfinder Advantages Camera movement does not occur easily and subjects can be seen clearly even in bright places. Little battery power is used. When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Use the viewfinder for general snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.). Monitor You can check the picture area that the camera actually records more accurately.

Disadvantages

Camera movement can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Use the monitor when you want to shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records, or when you take close-up shots of people or flowers (macro shooting).
The camera records a wider area than the image in the viewfinder. As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left).
If correct focus cannot be obtained
When correct focus cannot be obtained on the subject you want to shoot, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below.

This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions or subjects. The prior flash setting is maintained in the night scene mode. The flash mode is set independently from the night scene mode. "Using the flash" (P.58) Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod or set it on a level surface.

The orange lamp blinks while the movie is stored on the card. When the remaining recording time has been used up, recording stops automatically. To return to the still picture shooting mode, press in the top menu, and select (Still picture).
The movie mode is canceled when the lens barrier is closed. "ALL RESET - Saving the camera's settings" (P.97) During movie recording, the flash is disabled. It takes longer to store movies than still pictures. The seconds remaining varies depending on the record mode. You cannot record movies with sound.
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 3x magnification (the optical zoom limit, equivalent to 35 mm 105 mm on a 35 mm camera). By combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom, zoom magnification can be increased to a maximum of approximately 10x.
