Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
• Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is 
pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out 
blurred.
• Never open the card cover, remove the batteries or disconnect the 
AC adapter while the orange lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy 
stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
Viewfinder
Monitor
Advantages
Camera shake does not 
occur easily and subjects 
can be seen clearly even in 
bright places. Little battery 
power is used.
You can check the picture 
area that the camera 
actually records more 
accurately.
Disadvantages
When close to a subject, 
the image in the viewfinder 
is a little different from the 
picture that the camera 
actually records.
Camera shake can occur 
easily and subjects may be 
difficult to see in bright/dark 
places. The monitor uses 
more battery power than 
the viewfinder.
Tips
Use the viewfinder for 
general snapshots 
(landscape pictures, casual 
shots, etc.) or when taking 
several pictures in a row 
(approx. 0.5 m/1.6 ft - 
).
Use the monitor when you 
need to know the exact 
area the camera records, or 
when you want to shoot a 
close subject such as a  
close-up portrait or flower 
(approx. 0.2 m - 0.5 m/0.7 ft 
- 1.6 ft).
• The camera records a wider area than the image in the 
viewfinder.
• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image 
recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder 
(see left).
