Taking Still Photos
Use the Still setting to take one photo each time you press the Shutter button.
To take a Still photo:
1. Remove the lens cover.
2. Turn the camera on and turn the camera mode dial to Rec.
The status LCD displays the approximate number of photos
available on the memory card. The camera is not ready until
this number appears.
3. Adjust your camera settings as needed. See “Adjusting the
Camera Settings” on page 42 for details.
4. Press the color LCD on/off button to turn the color LCD on, then press the left soft key until the
Still icon appears on the lower overlay bar.
Tip: To conserve battery power, turn the color LCD off after you choose the photo type.
5. Frame your subject in the viewfinder, then press and hold the Shutter button 1/2 way down to allow the camera
to adjust the focus and exposure. If you see an orange light to the left of the viewfinder, you may need to
change the flash setting to adjust for the lighting conditions.
