Previewing your pictures
Instead of looking through the viewfinder to frame a picture, you 
can use the image display to preview a picture. The image display 
shows exactly what your picture will look like, whereas the 
viewfinder shows an image area smaller than what the camera 
actually captures. Preview your picture on the image display when 
precise framing is important, especially when you are taking a 
close-up shot.
Note Using the image display consumes a lot of battery 
power. To conserve battery power, the camera 
automatically turns off the image display after 60 
seconds if you do not press a button. 
To preview a picture
1 Press the PREVIEW ( ) button to turn on the image display.
2 Frame your picture in the image display by pointing the camera 
lens at your subject.
3 Press and hold the 
SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the 
camera to adjust the focus and exposure.
4 When you see the steady green light to the right of the 
viewfinder, press the 
SHUTTER button all the way down to take 
the picture. Wait for the beeps that indicate that your picture 
has been taken, and then release the 
SHUTTER button.
To turn off the image display, press the   button.
