Also, most LCDs have an 'off' option, in case you are worried about bothering others around you - if you trust the camera's autofocus to do the same basic job whether you can see it or not, you can just turn the LCD off and point the camera in the general direction (or use it briefly to find the correct zoom amount, then turn it off)...fire away. ; I've done that before when I've had my T100 ultra-compact, which also doesn't have any viewfinder option.
