Optical Viewfinder To conserve battery power when shooting, you can use the optical viewfinder instead of the screen. Shoot the same way as when using the screen. 1 Deactivate the screen. zzPress the button to turn the screen off (=46). 2 Adjust the diopter. zzAs you look through the optical viewfinder, turn the dial one way or the other so that images look sharp. • The area visible in the optical viewfinder may differ slightly from the image area in your shots. • At aspect ratios other than 4:3, the area visible in the optical viewfinder differs from the image area in your shots. Check the settings before shooting. • The lens may be partially visible through the optical viewfinder at some zoom positions. • Although the camera automatically focuses on subjects, face detection and focusing is not possible. • Continuous shooting is not supported in mode, because the camera will not determine the shooting scene. 44
