Shooting
Taking still pictures
Set the Mode dial to "P".
● You can also take pictures
with the Mode dial set to
"A/S/M". (P.88-91)
Compose the picture by
looking through the
viewfinder and using the
zoom lever. (P.72)
● Compose the shot so that the
subject is in the center of the
AF target mark.
● The actual shot is slightly larg-
er than the area visible in the
viewfinder.
Press the shutter button
down halfway.
● The focus and exposure are
locked and the green lamp
beside the viewfinder lights.
● To focus on a subject that is
not in the center of the shot,
use focus lock. (P.78)
● If the green lamp blinks, the
focus or exposure is not
locked. See "Focusing on dif-
ficult subjects (subjects not
suited to autofocus)" on P.76.
● If you have selected full-time AF
(P.79), the camera constantly
focuses even when the shutter
button is not pressed down
halfway, making focusing times
shorter.
