Using the Viewfinder You can reduce power consumption by shooting images with the viewfinder. 1 Align the subject with the center of the optical viewfinder and shoot. The viewfinder has a field of vision* of approximately 80% of the actual shooting image. * The ratio of the range that can be viewed by the finder for the actual shooting range. ● Basic Functions ● About the Autofocus Function This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence autofocus) technology which uses a broad metering field to calculate the focal distance with high precision. It delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic subject is slightly off-center (p. 51). Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image Please note that the actual image may differ from the image seen in the optical viewfinder due to the physical separation between the viewfinder and lens. This is called the parallax phenomenon and is more noticeable the closer the subject is to the lens. In some cases, portions of images shot up close that appear in the viewfinder will not appear in the recorded image. You are recommended to use the LCD monitor to shoot images up close. 33
