Getting Started
Now that you are familiar with the layout of your camera, you are ready to start taking
photos and movies.
Taking your First Photo
Taking a photo with the camera is very simple.
Turn the camera on and press the
SCENE
button to access the Auto
mode.
1. Frame the shot on the LCD screen and press the Shutter button halfway. The camera
automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. The focus bracket turns green when ready.
2. Press fully and hold the Shutter button to capture the image.
When a camera steady warning icon
appears, hold the camera as still as possible, as a
longer exposure time (more than 1/30 second) is required.
Shake Free Function
This function is only available in Auto
capture mode. Press the
OK
/
button to enable
the Shake Free function, and press again to disable it. An Shake Free icon
displays on the
LCD screen when the function is activated.
Using Macro Mode
Macro mode is designed for close-up photography and can capture all detail even when your
subject is very close to the camera. Press the Left/Macro
navigation button. The Macro
icon
displays on the LCD screen.
Setting the Flash Mode
You can choose from four flash modes to suit various lighting conditions.
Press the Up/Flash/Delete
navigation button to scroll through the four modes on
the LCD screen. The flash setting remains the same for subsequent photos until you change
it as described above.
Auto flash: The flash fires automatically when needed.
Flash off: The flash is turned off.
Flash on: The flash always fires.
Anti Red-eye: The flash fires 3 times so as to reduce the red-eye effect.
