5 Press the shutter-release button halfway* down to focus.
•
Center the subject in the viewfinder and press the shutter-release button
halfway down.
• If the green focus lamp blinks, see pages 37 - 43.
• The red flash lamp illuminates when the flash is charged.
• When the flash lamp (red) blinks slowly, (approx. 2 per minute) the shutter speed
will be slow. The slightest camera movement while taking a picture will produce
a blurred effect. The use of a tripod is strongly recommended under these
conditions.
6 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
• If the flash lamp (red) blinks when the shutter-release button is
fully depressed,
the flash is busy charging. If you continue holding down the shutter-release
button, the DC3810 will take a picture the instant the flash reaches a full charge.
• The LCD monitor displays the captured image as the DC3810 loads it onto
the CF card. While the image is loading, the green focus lamp blinks slowly
(
approx. 2 per second) and "RECORDING" blinks on the LCD monitor.
Do not disconnect the DC 3810's power source or remove the CF card during
this function as the CF card could be damaged and/or all of your data lost.
Wait until the focus lamp and "RECORDING" display stop blinking.
* When pressing the
shutter-release but-
ton, there is a point
where the button
stops halfway.
