BASIC SHOOTING OPERATIONS
Deciding Whether to Use the Viewfinder
or Monitor According to Working Distance
Snapshot, landscape, etc. (approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft to infinity)
Hold the camera securely, keeping your
upper arms pressed close to your body, to
prevent camera shake.
Use the viewfinder
Close-up of a person (approx. 0.5 to 1.5 m/1.6 to 4.9 ft)
Close-up images can usually be shot using
the viewfinder, but using the monitor may be
advantageous in certain cases. See the
column on the next page for details.
Use either the
viewfinder or monitor
Very short distance (0.1 to 0.5 m/0.3 to 1.6 ft)
When the subject is closer than 0.5 m/1.6 ft,
use the Macro mode (
Page 60).
Shooting without using the Macro mode is
also possible, but correct focus may not be
possible.
The image area shown in the viewfinder is
slightly different from the image area that is
actually recorded. When shooting a close-
up, confirm the image on the monitor.
Use the monitor
(Macro mode)
