Shooting Technique Depends on Distance to the Subject Deciding whether to use the viewfinder or the monitor display to set up a shot depends on the distance between you and your subject. Determine the approximate distance before taking the picture. For snapshots and long-range photography (from approx. 1.5m to ∞): We recommend using the viewfinder. For close-ups (from 0.8m to approx. 1.5m): Although you can use the viewfinder to take pictures, in some cases it is better to use the monitor. See

Taking Better Pictures Points to Remember • Depending on the distance from the subject to camera, the final picture may not match the image in the viewfinder, and zooming in can make the discrepancy even greater. Use the monitor for close- ups. • Subjects may be difficult to focus if they (1) have little contrast, (2) appear excessively bright in the center, (3) have no vertical lines, (4) are at varying distances, or (5) are moving quickly. To correct the situation either: • Focus the camera a
