RECORDING - BASIC OPERATION
Basic recording operation
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the
focus and exposure.
The monitor focus signal and viewfinder indicator lamp glows
when the focus is locked; the flash signal appears if the flash is
going to fire. If the focus signal and indicator lamp blink, the cam-
era could not focus, repeat the procedure.
Place the subject within the AF area.
The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center sub-
jects. If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-
angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position, only use the
LCD monitor to frame the subject.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the
picture.
After the shutter releases, the viewfinder indicator lamp glows
while image data is being written to the memory card. Never
remove a memory card while data is being transferred.
If the shutter-release button is pressed and held, a series of con-
secutive images is captured. The previous image is displayed
between exposures.
