35 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) Use the viewfinder Hold the camera securely, keeping your upper arms pressed close to your body, to prevent camera shake. Close-up of a person (approx. 0.5 to 1.5 m/1.6 to 4.9 ft) Use either the viewfinder or monitor 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. Very short distance (0.1 to 0.5 m/0.3 to 1.6 ft) Use the monitor (Macro mode) 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 closeup, confirm the image on the monitor.
