Please note that the actual image may differ from the image seen
in the optical viewfinder due to the physical separation between the
viewfinder and lens. This is called the parallax phenomenon and is
more noticeable the closer the subject is to the lens. In some
cases, portions of images shot up close that appear in the
viewfinder will not appear in the recorded image. Please use the
LCD monitor to shoot images up close.
Shooting with an Off-Center AF Frame Selected
When setting the AF frame to the desired position to shoot an
image, please use the LCD monitor (p. 89).
