Taking Still Pictures
After composing the shot in the viewfinder, half-press the shutter
release button until the green lamp next to the viewfinder lights up. If the
lamp flashes the shot is out of focus and must be refocused. Full-press
the shutter release button to take the shot. To shoot another picture,
compose the shot and full-press the shutter release button.
Taking Pictures Using the Monitor
Turn on the monitor by pressing the monitor button, then use it to
compose the shot. The procedure for taking pictures is the same as
when using the viewfinder.
Enlarging Your Shots (Optical Zoom)
Push the zoom level toward W (wide angle) to capture a wide area in
the shot. Pull the zoom lever toward T (telephoto) to zoom in and make
subjects appear larger.
Taking Pictures Using the Flash
In low light situations, open the flash before taking pictures by placing
your finger on the edge of the flash housing and pulling it up. If the
orange lamp next to the viewfinder lights up when the shutter release
button is half-pressed, the flash will fire when the button is full-pressed.
Checking Your Still Pictures
When the camera on in shooting mode, quickly press the monitor button
twice to switch to playback mode. The most recent image will be
displayed on the monitor. Pressing on the arrow pad displays the
previous image, the next image, the 10th image back, the 10th
image ahead. Press the monitor button to return to shooting mode. To
take a picture while checking previous images, look through the
viewfinder and full-press the shutter release button.
Turning the Power Off
If the flash is open, close it. Close the lens barrier halfway (just until it
touches the lens). Wait until the lens fully retracts, then close the lens
barrier the rest of the way.
