2-Taking pictures

During recording, the red viewfinder light blinks and the red
Video/self-timer light is solid. You can view the time remaining
for recording on the image display. The camera automatically
stops recording when the timer reaches zero.

NOTE

To delay recording by 10 seconds, simply press the

Self-timer/zoom

button once to activate the self-

timer before pressing the

button.

Although the maximum recording time for a video clip is
always 30 seconds, the number of video clips you can record
can be increased by using a memory card. Video files can be
very large and use a lot of space on the memory card.

Using Preview mode

You can also use the image display
to preview a picture and show a
more accurate view of what your
picture will look like. This is useful
for close-up pictures and for
instances in which framing your
subject is important.

To take a picture by using the image display:

Press the

Display

button to activate Preview mode.

Frame your subject in the image display, and then press the

Shutter

button.

In addition to taking pictures and recording video clips, you
can zoom in on your subject, adjust the flash setting, determine
how many more pictures can be taken, or increase the quality
of your image—all from within Preview mode.

NOTE

Using the image display consumes a large amount of

battery power.
