Taking pictures and videos
The camera is ready to take pictures or videos when you turn it on—even if
you are in Review, Share, or Setup.
Taking a picture
1 Turn the Mode dial to the Still mode you want to use. See page 9 for mode
descriptions.
The camera screen temporarily displays the mode name and description. To
interrupt the description, press any button.
2 Use the viewfinder or camera screen to frame your subject. (Press the OK
button to turn on the camera screen. See page 10 .)
NOTE: The position of pictures captured using the viewfinder may differ from pictures taken using
the camera screen (especially in Close-up mode or when using zoom). For best results, use
the camera screen to frame your subject.
3 Press the Shutter button halfway and hold
to set the exposure and focus.
4 When the ready light turns green, continue
press the Shutter button the rest of the way
down to take the picture.
When the ready light blinks green, the picture is
being saved; you can still take pictures. If the
ready light is red, wait until it turns green.
Taking a video
1 Turn the Mode dial to Video .
2 Use the camera screen to frame your subject.
3 Press the Shutter button and release. To stop recording, press the Shutter
button again.
NOTE: You can also press the Shutter button and hold it for more than 2 seconds to begin
recording. To stop recording, release the Shutter button.
Recording stops if image storage is full (see Video storage capacity, page 46 ).
