Solution
You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera's LCD monitor. This is called "Live View shooting".
NOTE
- Live View shooting is effective for photos of still subjects.
- You can magnify the image on the LCD monitor 5x or 10x and focus precisely with manual focus.
- If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images. Using a tripod is recommended.
