Chapter 1 / Section 2 Basic Shooting

Turn the Mode Dial to (Shooting

Mode).

Put the subject of your photo right in the
center of the LCD Monitor or the Viewfinder
and press the shutter button half-way.

F stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are displayed
in the bottom part of the screen, and the camera
focuses.
Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white
balance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of
the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus
lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of
these to make sure the subject is in focus.

With the shutter half-pressed, compose your
shot.

Gently press the shutter button all the way.
