Basic camera operations

It is possible to use the LCD monitor as a viewfinder. You can view the exposure or white
balance effect and the subject’s composition while you take the picture.
Close the eyepiece shutter so the light entering through the viewfinder does not affect the
exposure while shooting with live view.
