Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 27
Taking Still Pictures
You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on,
regardless of what is being shown on the active display.
1 Rotate the Mode selector to
AUTO
or another of the exposure modes
(see Setting the Exposure Mode on
page 38 ).
2
Pop up the flash assembly (see
page 32).
3 Frame the subject for your picture
in the active display.
4 Hold the camera steady (especially if using zoom) and press
the Shutter button halfway down. The camera measures and
then locks the focus and exposure (the focus brackets will
turn green if the camera is able to focus, see page 25). If an
icon of a shaking hand ( ) appears in the active display,
you may want to either use the pop-up flash or set the
camera on a tripod or stable surface, otherwise the picture
might be blurry.
5 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
in the active display. This is called Instant Review . You can
delete the image during Instant Review by pressing the OK
button. If you prefer, you can turn off Instant Review in the
Setup menu (see Instant Review on page 86).
To review the pictures you have taken, press the Playback
button (see Using Playback on page 57).
