Notes

Do not remove the batteries while photos are being recorded to, or
deleted from, memory.

The pause and delete functions described above are only available when
photos are taken at an image size of “full” (1,600

×

1,200 pixels).

The delete dialog disappears if no action is taken for ten seconds. In this
case the image will be saved and the camera will return to shooting mode.

Note

The camera may become warm during use, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.

Step 7—Check the results

After a photograph has been taken, the AF/
Flash indicator will blink and an hourglass icon
( ) will be displayed in the LCD monitor
while the photograph is recorded. Before
the photograph is transferred to the memory
card, it will be displayed briefly in the LCD
monitor.

If the photo was taken at an image-size setting of “full,” you can
press the

button to pause the display for ten seconds; shooting

can be resumed by pressing the button again. If you are not pleased
with the photograph, you can delete it before it is transferred to
memory by pressing the button. The
dialog at right will be displayed; using the
zoom buttons (▼▲), select YES and press
the shutter-release button to erase the pho-
tograph. To continue shooting without de-
leting the photograph, select NO and press
the shutter-release button. The photo will
then be saved to the memory card and the
camera will return to shooting mode.

Step 8—Turn the camera off

When you have finished using the camera, be sure to turn the
mode dial to OFF.

To avoid wasting batteries, check that the camera is off before
putting it away.
