Viewfinder Because the optical viewfinder and the lens are slightly Close-framing guide separated, the image seen through one is not exactly the same as the other; this is called parallax. Parallax can cause errors in framing at close distances and is more pronounced at longer focal lengths. When the sub- ject is closer than 0.4m (1.3ft) in the macro mode, the use of the LCD monitor is recommended because it does not suffer from parallax. If the viewfinder is used, point the camera slightly upwa

Using the zoom lens This camera is equipped with a 6.2 to 18.6mm optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 38 to 114mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera.

Above 50mm is referred to as tele- photo and makes distant objects appear closer. The effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the viewfinder and LCD monitor. The zoom lens is operated by the zoom lever. Pressing Zoom l
