Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Advantages
Disadvantages
Tips
Viewfinder
Camera movement does
not occur easily and
subjects can be seen
clearly even in bright
places.
Little battery power is used.
When close to a subject,
the image in the viewfinder
is a little different from the
picture that the camera
actually records.
Use the viewfinder for
general snapshots
(landscape pictures, casual
shots, etc.).
• The camera records a wider area than the image in
the viewfinder.
• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image
recorded becomes lower than the one in the
viewfinder (see left).
Taking still pictures
Monitor
You can check the picture
area that the camera
actually records more
accurately.
Camera movement can
occur easily and subjects
may be difficult to see in
bright/dark places. The
monitor uses more battery
power than the viewfinder.
Use the monitor when you
want to shoot while
checking the picture area
that the camera actually
records, or when you take
close-up shots of people or
flowers (macro shooting).
