5. When the green ready lamp glows, press
the shutter-release button all-the-way
down to take the picture.
• If the ready lamp does not glow, the flash is not
charged. Wait until it glows, then take the
picture.
• If the ready lamp blinks quickly and the shutter
is locked, your subject is too close (p. 29).
• Press the shutter-release button with a slow
steady squeeze - never a quick jab.
3. Looking through the viewfinder, frame the
subject as desired.
Press the W zoom button to zoom out.
Press the T zoom button to zoom in.
• Do not hold or obstruct the lens barrel.
4. Center your subject in the focus frame,
then press the shutter-release button
partway down.
• If the close-framing guide appears in the
viewfinder, move the camera slightly upward
without lifting your finger (pp. 30-31).
