Descriptions of the Three Modes
Taking Pictures
This camera takes digital still images in JPEG format. The number of pictures you can take is subject to the
storage capacity of the memory (card), Image Resolution, and Picture Quality. Pictures with higher
resolution and quality require more memory.
Follow these steps to take pictures.
Turn on the camera and set up the date and time (Please refer to Date and Time Set).
Use the Mode dial to switch to Photo Mode (Choose among Auto, Manual, and Scene Mode. Auto
Mode is suggested for most users.) Find corresponding icons displayed on the upper left hand corner
of the screen and set the Image Resolution and Picture Quality according to your preference (Please
refer to Picture Quality).
