BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using the Optical Viewfinder
Turning off the camera’s monitor screen and using its optical
viewfinder to compose images helps to conserve battery
power.
Viewfinder frame
Short distance to subject
Focus Frame
IMPORTANT!
• The frame that is visible inside of the viewfinder indi-
cates the image recorded at a distance of about three
meters (9.8´). When the subject is closer or further
away than three meters, the recorded image will be
different from what you see inside the viewfinder
frame.
• The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever
you select the Macro Mode or Manual Focus Mode.
Always use the monitor screen to compose images in
these modes.
Adjusting the View of the Optical
Viewfinder
You can use the diopter slider to adjust the view of the
viewfinder to match your eyesight. Adjust the diopter slider
so the image in the viewfinder is clear.

IMPORTANT!
• The diopter slider does not work when the camera is
turned off or in the Play Mode. Be sure to enter a re-
cording mode before adjusting the diopter setting.
