Deciding Whether to Use the Viewfinder or
Monitor According to Working Distance
Snapshot, landscape, etc. (approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft to infinity)
Use the
viewfinder
Close-up of a person (approx. 0.5 to 1.5 m/1.6 to 4.9 ft)
Use either the
viewfinder or
monitor
Very short distance (0.1 to 0.5 m/0.3 to 1.6 ft)
Use the
monitor
(Macro mode)
Hold the camera securely, keeping your upper arms
pressed close to your body, to prevent camera shake.
Close-up images can usually be shot using the
viewfinder, but using the monitor may be
advantageous in certain cases.
When the subject is closer than 0.5 m/1.6 ft, use the Macro
mode. Shooting without using the Macro mode is also
possible, but correct focus may not be possible.
The image area shown in the viewfinder is slightly different
from the image area that is actually recorded. When shooting
a close-up, confirm the image on the monitor.
