Taking Images
Now that you are familiar with your camera, you are now ready to take your
images. Taking images with your camera is very simple.
1.
Turn on the camera by pressing the Power
button.
2.
Frame the shot using the focus bracket on
the LCD monitor. See illustration on the right.
3.
Pressing the Shutter button down halfway
automatically focuses and adjusts the
exposure, and pressing the Shutter button
down fully captures the images.
When the shake warning icon appears, hold
the camera steadily, with your arms at your side
or use a tripod to stabilize the camera to prevent
blurred images.
Setting the Zoom Control
Using a combination of 22 times optical zoom and 2 times digital zoom permits
zoom photography at up to 44 times magnification. While the digital zoom can
be a useful feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more
pixelated (grainier) the image will appear. Please refer to "Setting the Digital
Zoom" on page 53 on how to setup digital zoom.
