Gently half-press the shutter
button.
The camera emits a small beep and the
AF correct mark in the lower left corner of
the viewfinder lights green when the
subject is completely in focus. Keep the
button pressed halfway and go to Step 2.
If the AF correct mark in the lower left
corner of the viewfinder blinks, the subject
is not completely focused. Release the
shutter button, compose the picture again
by centering on another part of the picture,
and then repeat from Step 1. If you see
the
mark blinking, this is the low light
warning, telling you that you must use the
built-in flash. Press the flash button
to
open the built-in flash unit.

Gently full-press the shutter
button.
The picture is taken and the image starts
to be stored on the memory card. The card
access lamp blinks while the picture is
being stored on the card.
To take another picture, repeat from Step
1. While the camera is storing the previous
shot on the card, you can take up to 4
exposures.
Taking pictures without half-pressing
You can take pictures without half-pressing the shutter button. In such cases, the camera starts
focusing when you full-press the shutter button. Therefore it takes a few moments to take a picture,
and you might miss a good picture.
Low battery warning blinks immediately after taking a shot?
Immediately after taking a shot, if you see the low battery warning blink and then light in the control
panel, the picture may not have been taken correctly. Install a new battery and then play back the
previous shot to confirm that it was stored correctly. (
