Features of the monitor and viewfinder
When to use the monitor and viewfinder
Monitor

Advantages
You can check the picture area
that the camera actually
records.
Camera movement does not
occur easily and subjects can be
seen clearly even in bright places.
Little battery power is used.
Disadvantages
Camera movement occurs easily
and subjects may be difficult to
see in bright/dark places. The
monitor uses more battery power
than the viewfinder.
When close to a subject, the
image in the viewfinder differs
slightly from the picture that the
camera actually records.
Tips
Use the monitor when you need to
know the exact area the camera
records, or to take a close-up of a
person or flower (macro shooting).
Use the viewfinder for general
snapshots, landscape pictures
and other casual shots.
