Photo Displaying the back area of the camera

The 2.5 inch LCD on the back of the camera is your only method of previewing and reviewing your images - there is no optical viewfinder. The screen has a total of 232K pixels, so there is plenty of resolution. After a few seconds, to save battery power, the refresh rate slows down and the brightness is decreased. However, when you’re ready to shoot and press the shutter partway, the screen brightens up and the refresh rate increases to a nice level. Outdoors in bright sunlight, the screen can get hard to see, but it’s no worse than with other cameras in its class.
