Hold the camera still until it beeps. Then release the
shutter button. (You may notice a brief delay between
the time you press the shutter button and when the
camera beeps. To avoid blurring your images, make sure
you hold the camera still until it beeps.)
After a few seconds, you see a confirmation screen.
NOTE
You can press the button next to Delete if you don’t want
the picture. You can also delete pictures in playback mode.

When the camera status light stops flashing, you’re ready
to take another picture. Or, if you’ve turned recording
on, you see a countdown of the recording time on the
screen. During this time, you can record a message into
the built-in microphone on the back of the camera. (See
page 4-13 for more information on recording a
message.)
NOTE
◗
The LCD screen uses up battery power quickly. If it’s idle for
more than the designated power off interval, the camera
turns off automatically. To turn it back on, press the shutter
button, or turn the camera dial to Off and then back to .
See page 4-26 for instructions on changing the power off
interval.
◗
Even if you don’t speak into the microphone, your camera
records ambient noise when recording is turned on, and your
images take up more space on the memory card. To fit more
images on your memory card, make sure you turn recording
off when you no longer want to use it.
