Main Switch
The camera can operate only after the < > switch is turned on. This switch has three settings:
< > : The camera does not operate. Set to this
position when not using the camera.
< > : To turn on the camera, set to this position.
< > : This is the same as < > and it also enables
the beeper to sound in the following cases:
•
Focus is achieved in One-Shot AF mode.
•
Focus is achieved with manual focus.
•
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after 1 minute of non-
operation. (

p.130) To turn on the camera again, just press the shutter button halfway.
•
If you turn the < > switch to < > immediately after taking a picture, the
access lamp may continue blinking for a few seconds while the CF card records
the image data. After the image is recorded, the access lamp will stop blinking
and the camera will turn off.
Shutter Button
You can press the shutter button halfway or all the way.
Halfway pressing ( )
When you press the shutter button halfway,
autofocusing (AF) is activated to focus the subject and
auto exposure metering is used to set the correct
shutter speed and aperture.
The shutter speed and aperture settings are displayed
in the viewfinder and on the top LCD panel.
Full pressing
This releases the shutter and takes the picture.
If you press the shutter button halfway and ( ) elapse, press it halfway again and wait a
moment before pressing it fully to take a picture. If you press the shutter button fully without
pressing it halfway first or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it fully
immediately, the camera will still take a moment before it takes the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway will also make the camera standby to take a picture at any time.
Therefore, even while you are playing back images on the LCD monitor or operating the on-screen
menu or if the camera is recording image data, you can go back to taking pictures on the spot.
