Taking photos
Due to its compact size and light weight, the camera is sensitive to shaking when taking
photos.Therefore firmly hold the camera when using it, especially in low light situations where
a longer exposure time is required.
Before you take your first photos, we recommend you take some test photos to make sure
that the camera is working properly and confirm that you are operating the camera correctly.
1
Make sure the camera is turned on and set to ‘Picture taking’ mode.
The green Charge LED should be lit.
If the LED is blinking the camera is not ready for use yet.
2
Use the display to view your subject.
You can also the aiming mark in the viewfinder to centre the image you wish to capture.
3
Hold the camera still and press the Shutter button.
>
When the photo has been successfully taken, ‘SAVING’ appears on the display and the
number in the photo counter decreases by one.
If sound was activated, you will also hear a short beep. See ‘Menu operation’.
Low light lock-out
•
When taking pictures in low light conditions, be sure to set the Flash to ‘Auto’.
See ‘Menu operation’.
>
When the Flash is not activated the ‘Low light lock-out’ feature prevents the camera from
taking photos.
When this occurs the camera will give a warning beep, even if the Sound is not activated.To
override Low light lock-out, continue holding the shutter button for 1 second after the
warning beep.
