SHOOTING BASICS
J TAKING STILL PICTURES
You can take still pictures using either the viewfinder or the monitor. Both
methods are easy as all you have to do is to press the shutter button. The
recorded picture will be stored on the card if you have inserted one, or in the
internal memory if you have not inserted a card.
Taking still pictures using the viewfinder
1
Open the lens barrier.
Slide the lens barrier open until it clicks.
2
Position the target mark over the subject in the viewfinder.
When the distance from the camera to the subject is less than 60 cm/
2 ft, select the macro mode.
3
Press the shutter button gently (halfway).
The green lamp on the right of the viewfinder lights up.
The exposure is locked as long as the shutter button is kept pressed
halfway.
4
Press the shutter button all the way (fully).
The camera takes the picture.
Taking still pictures using the monitor
1
Open the lens barrier.
2
Press .
The monitor turns on.
3
Determine the image composition while observing your
subject on the monitor.
4
Take the picture by following the same procedure as for
shooting using the viewfinder.
Press the shutter button all the way (fully) to take the picture.
When you want to take pictures with the monitor off, press
again.
Never open the card cover, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adapter
while the green lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and
prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
