HELP
• Taking pictures using the monitor takes more time to write to the card than
when using the viewfinder.
• A subject taken at an angle may appear grainy on the monitor, but this will
not affect the quality of the actual photo.
• Vertical lines may appear on the monitor when taking pictures in full
sunlight or other brightly-lit areas. These lines will not be visible in the
actual photo and do not indicate a camera malfunction.
• The picture frame of the actual photo will be slightly larger than it appears
on the monitor.
NOTE
• Do not push the monitor forcefully.
• The viewfinder is intended to be used to check photo composition. Use the
monitor for checking focus and exposure. For best results, transfer image
files to a computer to confirm exactly what final pictures will look like
(p.54, p.122).
