TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
Basic Setting
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.6" full color TFT LCD monitor
to compose images. Taking images by using the optical viewfinder will conserve more battery
power. If your batteries' level is in low condition, it is recommended to compose images by
using the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can help you accurately compose the pictures and
examine all the details, but using it may also consume more battery power. However, always
use the LCD monitor for MACRO shots to avoid define parallax effects (the apparent
displacement or the difference in apparent direction of an object as seen from two differen
points not on a straight line with the object).
