Capturing the Image
Hold the camera as steady as possible when you press the shutter
button. Moving the camera while pressing the shutter button will cause
your pictures to be blurry.
1. Press the shutter button halfway down.
NOTE: The shutter button is the purple button on the top of the camera.
The camera measures the ambient lighting and sets the exposure
and white balance, and automatically focuses the lens. The green
light on the right of the viewfinder illuminates.
NOTE: The green light on the viewfinder flashes if your subject is too
close or too far away. You can specify a close-up focus or
move closer or further away from your subject.
2. Press the shutter button all the way down.
After you press the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera steady
until the green light on the viewfinder flashes. There is a brief delay
between the time the shutter button is pressed and the time the
picture is actually taken and processed by the camera.
The Images Remaining Counter flashes, then the number of
remaining pictures is displayed. The number in the Images Taken
Counter increases by one. You cannot take another picture until the
green light on the viewfinder stops flashing.
