Using instant review

After you take a still picture, the active display shows the image

for several seconds in

Instant Review

while the image is being

saved to the memory card. You can delete the image during

Instant Review

by pressing the

Menu/OK

button.

You can extend

Instant Review

by holding down the

Shutter

button after you take the picture. You can also set how long

Instant Review

is displayed or turn it

off with the

Instant Review

option in the

Setup

menu. For more information, see

Instant

review

on page 65.

You can also use

Playback

to review the images you have

taken. See

Using playback

on page 43.

Using the focus brackets

The two brackets in the middle of the active display screen

show the focus region for the picture you are taking or the

video clip you are recording. When you press the

Shutter

button halfway down, the camera measures and then locks the

focus using this region. The focus brackets turn green when the

image is in focus and the camera can lock the focus, but turn

red when the camera is unable to focus.
If the focus brackets turn red, release the

Shutter

button,

re-frame the subject for your picture or video clip, and then

press the

Shutter

button halfway down again. If the focus

brackets continue to turn red after several tries, the lighting may

be too low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus

region. Try using

Focus Lock

. See

Using focus lock

on page 26.
