Taking Pictures
The camera is ready to take pictures when you turn it on—even if you are in
Review, Share, or Setup. (In Video mode, the camera captures video.) Before
you take a picture, make sure the storage location is set the way you want it
(see
page 10
).
Take a Picture
1
Turn the Mode dial to the mode you want to
use. See
page 16
for a description of the
picture-taking modes.
The camera screen displays the mode
name and description. To interrupt the
description, press any button.
2
Use the viewfinder or camera screen to
frame your subject. (Press the OK button to
turn Liveview on. See
page 20
.)
3
Press the Shutter button
half-way
to set
the exposure and focus.
4
When the ready light glows green, continue
pressing the Shutter button
completely
down
to take the picture.
When the ready light blinks green, the
picture is being saved; you can still take
pictures. If the ready light is red, wait
until it turns green.
