How to use the AUTO mode
If the auto focus frame turns to red when you press the shutter
button down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus
on the subject. Should this be the case, the camera is unable to
capture an image clearly.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
1. Insert the batteries (p.15). Insert the
batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the memory card (p.15). As this
camera has a 10MB internal memory, you
do not need to insert the memory card. If
the memory card is not inserted, an image
will be stored in the internal memory. If the
memory card is inserted, an image will be
stored on the memory card.
3. Close the battery chamber cover.
4. Press the power button to turn on the camera. (If the date/ time that
is displayed on the LCD monitor is incorrect, reset the date/ time
before taking a picture.)
5. Select the AUTO mode by rotating the mode dial.
6. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by
using the LCD monitor.
7. Press the shutter button to capture an image.
Selecting the automatic mode will configure the camera with optimal
settings. You can still manually configure all functions except the aperture
value and shutter speed.
1. Select the PROGRAM mode by rotating the
mode dial.
2. Press the Fn button to configure advanced
functions such as Image Size (p.42), Quality
(p.42), Metering (p.43), Drive mode (p.43),
ISO (p.44), White Balance (p.45), and
Exposure Value(p.46).
