NAMES OF PARTS
VIEWFINDER
Because the optical viewfinder and the lens are slightly 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 subject is closer than 1m (3ft) at
the wide-angle lens positions or 3m (9.8ft) at the telephoto lens position, use the LCD monitor to
compose the image; because the lens creates the monitor image, it does not suffer from parallax.
