Taking Still Pictures

You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on,

regardless of what is being shown on the Image Display.
To take a still picture:
1. Press the Live View/Playback

button until the Live View

icon appears in the upper left

corner of the Image Display, then

frame the subject for your picture in

the Image Display.

2. Hold the camera steady and press the Shutter button on

the top of the camera halfway down. The camera

measures and locks the focus and exposure. The focus

brackets in the Image Display turn solid green when focus

is locked (see Focusing the Camera on page 36 for

details).

3. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the

picture. The camera beeps after taking the picture.

TIP: Hold the camera with both hands when pressing the

Shutter button to reduce camera shake and prevent blurry

pictures.

After a picture is taken, the image appears for several

seconds on the Image Display. This is called Instant Review.

You can delete the image during Instant Review by pressing

the button, then selecting This Image in the Delete

sub-menu.
NOTE: When Instant Review begins, the focus brackets

display green if the picture was in focus. They display red

if the picture was not in focus.
