Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing the
shutter button halfway.
•
Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time
required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes,
and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject
moves) before the shutter sound ends.
Optical Viewfinder
To conserve battery power when shooting, you can use the optical
viewfinder instead of the screen. Shoot the same way as when using the
screen.

As you look through the optical
viewfinder, turn the dial one way or the
other so that images look sharp.
•
The area visible in the optical viewfinder may differ slightly from the
image area in your shots.
•
At aspect ratios other than 4:3, the area visible in the optical
viewfinder differs from the image area in your shots. Check the
settings before shooting.
•
The lens may be partially visible through the optical viewfinder at some zoom
positions.
•
Although the camera automatically focuses on subjects, face detection and
focusing is not possible.
•
Continuous shooting is not supported in [
] mode, because the camera
will not determine the shooting scene.
