Shooting with the finder
The finder is convenient when you want to
save battery power, or when it is difficult to
confirm the image using the LCD screen.
Each time you press , the display
changes in the following order.
All of the indicators are turned off
• The image through the finder does not indicate
the actual recordable range. To confirm the
recordable range, use the LCD screen.
• For details on the items displayed, see
page 113.
• Just as with the AE/AF lock indicator on the
LCD screen, when the AE/AF lock lamp of the
finder section stops flashing and remains on,
you can start shooting (page 26).
• When the LCD screen is turned off, the smart
zoom does not function (page 29).
• If you press (Flash mode)/ (Self-timer)/
(Macro) (DSC-P72) or (Spot meter) (DSC-
P52/P32) with the LCD screen turned off, the
image will be displayed on the screen for
approximately two seconds so you can check or
change the setting.
• This setting is maintained even when the power
is turned off.
