Using the viewfinder
The viewfinder has a circle and
three lines superimposed on it.
You can use the circle in the
viewfinder to center most of the
pictures you take and all of the
video clips you record. The only
time you should not use the
circle to center a picture is when
you are taking close-up pictures
using the
Macro
Exposure Mode
setting on the camera.
NOTE
The
Exposure Mode
setting does not apply when you
are recording video clips.
If you use the viewfinder to take close-up pictures in
Macro
Exposure Mode
, parallax error can occur. (This means that
some of the subject you see through the viewfinder will not
actually appear in your captured image.) The lines above and
below the circle in the viewfinder can help you correct for this.
1
Set
Exposure Mode
to
Macro
in the
Capture
menu. See
on page 35, and then see
2
Frame the entire subject for your close-up picture within the
three lines in the viewfinder. Be sure that you line-up the
upper-left corner of the picture using the parallax lines.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended, however, that you use
Live
View
on the Image Display (see the next section), instead
of the viewfinder, when using the
Macro
Exposure
Mode
setting. (
Live View
turns on automatically when you
set the
Exposure Mode
to
Macro
.)
Live View
alleviates
parallax error when you are using
Macro
.
