Points to Remember Viewfinder Discrepancies Depending on Distance The image as seen through the viewfinder does not always match up with the final picture depending on the distance between the subject and the camera. Viewfinder Picture frame Close-up working range When shooting subjects 1.5m (59″) to ∞, the viewfinder picture frame shows the area that can be shot. However, the picture area will move lower in the viewfinder as you get closer to the subject. Zooming in (pulling the zoom lever towards T) makes this discrepancy even larger. When shooting close-ups, you can determine the exact picture area by viewing the monitor. However, it is more difficult to hold the camera steady using the monitor, which may result in blurry images. The batteries will also drain more quickly. NOTE • Use the macro function when shooting particularly close objects (from around 20 to 80cm) (p.55). Subjects Difficult to Get in Focus In most cases you need not worry about focusing a shot, as the autofocus feature takes care of most situations. However, focusing is more difficult under conditions 1 to 3 listed on the next page. In such cases, the green lamp next to the viewfinder will blink to indicate the shot is out of focus. Additionally, in conditions 4 and 5, a picture may still be out of focus even though the green lamp lights up to indicate that the subject is focused correctly. Under condition 6, it will be the background, not the subject, that is in focus. 50
