Shooting Using The Viewfinder; Shooting Using A Tv As The Display - Canon PowerShot A1200 User Manual

Shooting Using the Viewfinder

If you want to save battery power, you can use the viewfinder for shooting
instead of the screen. Shooting procedures are the same as when using the
screen. The camera will automatically focus on subjects, but it will not detect
and focus on faces.
The area visible in the viewfinder may differ slightly from the image taken.
You may be able to see part of the lens through the viewfinder depending
on the zoom position.

You can use a TV to display the camera screen content while shooting.
• To connect the camera to a TV, follow the Steps in "Viewing Images on a
