The optical viewfinder of compact cameras is only a partial representation of the image that is actually captured onto the film or digital sensor. The typical coverage of an optical viewfinder is about 85% of the total image area. For more critical image composition use the LCD monitor.
If significant image misalignment is present between the optical viewfinder and the final image, the camera's operation should be checked by a qualified service technician.
