BASIC OPERATION
Shutter Button
Not pressed
Half-press
Full-press
The camera’s Shutter button is a two-step button.
Pressing it halfway (to the first step) causes the
photo standby lamp (green) to flash while the
camera focuses automatically.
Once the camera is focused, the photo standby
lamp (green) lights steadily. Pressing the Shutter
button halfway (to the first step) is called a “half-
press.“ Pressing the button from the half-press
position to the full-press position causes the camera
to take a picture.
NOTES:
●
Suddenly pressing the Shutter button with your
finger or pressing too strongly can result in a
picture that is at an angle or which is blurry.
Press the button smoothly from the half-press
position to the full-press position when taking
pictures.
●
If you have pressed the Shutter button halfway
and then release it, the camera will perform the
autofocus operation again the next time that you
press the Shutter button halfway.
●
If you press the Shutter button all the way instead
of halfway, a picture can be taken after focusing
automatically.
Viewfinder
This camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder.
Normal Shooting
To focus, point the camera so that the subject
appears within the finder, and then press the shutter
button.
Macro Shooting
When shooting close-up, make sure
the subject being photographed is
within the frame inside the finder
(indicated with diagonal lines).
NOTES:
●
In close-up (macro) shooting, the area that is
actually photographed will be slightly below the
area that can be seen in the viewfinder. The closer
the camera is the subject, the greater that this
displacement is.
●
It is recommended to view the subject with the
LCD screen for an important shooting.
