Focusing
The picture frame in the viewfinder shows the area that is shot for subjects at
infinity. However, the picture frame moves lower down in the viewfinder as you
get closer to the subject. (This is particularly pronounced when the zoom is
set to telephoto.)
Take pictures at distances between 7.9" and
∞
(infinity).
• While the shutter will release for subjects closer than 7.9", the resulting
image may be out of focus and incorrectly exposed.
• Using the monitor as a viewfinder is a better way to take close-up pictures.
Shot composition is easier as the monitor shows the actual area pho-
tographed.
• Note that the camera uses battery power faster when the monitor is used.
