Notes on shooting with the viewfinder (DSC-HX90V/HX90 only)
This camera is equipped with an Organic Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with
high resolution and high contrast. The camera is designed to provide an easily
viewable viewfinder by appropriately balancing various elements.
• The image may be slightly distorted near the corners of the viewfinder. This is not
a malfunction. When you want to check every detail of the entire composition, you
can also use the monitor.
• If you pan the camera while looking into the viewfinder or move your eyes
around, the image in the viewfinder may be distorted or the color of the image may
change. This is a characteristic of the lens or display device and is not a
malfunction. When you shoot an image, we recommend that you look at the center
area of the viewfinder.
