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. For

example, if a menu is currently displayed when you press the

Shutter

button, the menu will be canceled, and the camera will

take a picture. To take a still picture:

1

Frame the subject for your picture

in the viewfinder.

2

Hold the camera steady

(especially if using zoom) and

press the

Shutter

button on the top

of the camera halfway down. The

camera measures and then locks the focus and exposure

(the AF viewfinder light turns on solid green when focus is

locked - see

Using Auto Focus

on page 31 for details).

3

Press the

Shutter

button all the way down to take the

picture. You will hear a shutter click when the camera takes

the picture.

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

Menu/OK

button.

You can use

Playback

to review the pictures you have taken.

See

Using Playback

on page 53.
