Framing a picture with the monitor 1 2 OPEN Eyepiece shutter lever 3 OPEN 4 5 6 1 Press the monitor button . 2 You can see the same view in the monitor and the viewfinder. (However, framing pictures through the monitor consumes more battery power than when using the viewfinder.) 2 To prevent light from behind the camera entering the viewfinder, lower the eyepiece shutter lever. 3 Move the monitor lock/release button to the left (see illustration). The upper part of the monitor projects about 1 cm (0.3 in.) from the camera. 4 If you need to raise the monitor, pull the bottom out. 5 Hold the camera as steady as possible. Hold the camera carefully without blocking the lens, flash, or AF port with the camera strap, your fingers, etc. 6 Compose the picture in the monitor. The picture that you take will be the same as the picture composed in the monitor. (The monitor displays 100% of the composed picture.) You can also take a picture at Step 3 for a high-angle shot. Cannot see through the monitor? • Make sure that you pressed the monitor button to activate the monitor display. • Make sure that the lens cap has been removed. • After the camera is left idle for a specified length of time, it will enter the sleep mode. Press the shutter button lightly to restore the camera to full operation. • Check the power switch. If the power switch is at the OFF position, move it to ON. If the power is off with the power switch in the ON position, the camera may have powered itself off. Move to OFF then move to ON again. • Mode dial set correctly? Make sure that the mode dial is set to P, A, S, or M. Note • When framing a picture with the monitor, lower the eyepiece shutter lever. Light entering the viewfinder from behind the camera could wash out the picture with white light. 37
