Sony A65 viewfinder/LCD question

[lozboy]

OK I am sure this is a daft question.But my excuse is I am new to DSLR's.

I have upgraded to a Sony A65 from a canon IXUS 95.I only use the camera to take detailed photos of drums and guitars.

With IXUS 95.I could fit more of the subject within the LCD.Photo would be of what I saw in the LCD.

With the A65 I have to stand back to get the same amount of subject content.

This is obviously due to the different lense spec.Am I correct?

 However when I look through the "viewfinder" on the A65 there is MORE subject content vs subject content in the "LCD".

 I would be very grateful if someone could explain this to me.

Is it camera settings? Thks in advance.
