First Steps : Taking Your First Photograph
The amount of memory available for making further recordings is shown
as a percentage next to the
REMAINING MEMORY
item (fractions of less
than one percent are rounded down).
PICTURES
indicates the number of
photographs or memos that could be recorded at the current quality setting
if all available memory were used to store images. When this number
reaches zero, you will need to transfer the recordings in memory to a
computer or delete all or some of the stored items before you will be able
to take more photographs. If there is no memory available when the
camera is turned on, or if there is not enough memory to record a picture at
the current image quality when the shutter-release button is pressed, the
camera will display a message warning you that memory is full (see
“Troubleshooting”).
Step 3 - Put the camera in recording mode
You can only take photographs when the camera is in recording
mode. The camera enters recording mode automatically ten seconds after
having been turned on, or when you use the stylus to select
OK
from the
lower right corner of the status window (you can also make the camera
enter recording mode by selecting
RECORDING
from the COOLPIX
300’s main menu). When the camera is in recording mode, the READY
lamp will glow steadily and the main display window in the touch-panel
will show the view through the lens.
