Focusing Working range The picture frame in the viewfinder moves lower down in the viewfinder as you get closer to the subject. (This is particularly pronounced when the zoom is set to telephoto.) Viewfinder Picture frame 3 Picture frame for close-up shots Take pictures at distances between 7.9" and ∞ (infinity). • While the shutter will release for subjects closer than 7.9", the resulting image may be out of focus and incorrectly exposed. • Using the monitor as a viewfinder is a better way to take close-up pictures. Shot composition is easier as the monitor shows the actual area photographed. • Note that the camera uses battery power faster when the monitor is used. Working range Macro mode Normal mode 7.9" to 31.5" (2.6 ft) (P.84) 2.6 ft (31.5") to ∞ (infinity) 77
