Quick Start Basics
3.
Half-press the shutter button to
focus the image.
When focus is complete, the camera will
beep, the back lamp will light green, and
the focus frame will turn green.
4.
Continuing to keep the camera still, press the shutter button the rest of
the way down.
This records the snapshot.
When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and
focuses on the subject it is currently pointed
at. Mastering how much pressure is required
for a half-press and a full-press of the shutter
button is an important technique for good-
looking images.

included in this manual is shown at

Note that you can change the form of the
