Basic Functions Viewfinder The camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder for image composition. • The field of the viewfinder will change as the Zoom button is pressed. • In Macro mode (subject 6.7 to 20in. (17 to 50cm) from the lens), the actual area shot by the lens is slightly lower than the area shown in the viewfinder. The closer the camera is to the subject, the larger the difference between these areas. 44 • When taking shots in Macro mode, be sure to confirm the image composition and focus in the LCD panel.

• The field of the viewfinder will change
as the Zoom button is pressed.
• In Macro mode (subject 6.7 to 20in. (17

shot by the lens is slightly lower than the
