Checking the Battery Icon
Before you take pictures, check the battery icon on the
control panel. The icon shows how much battery power
you have left, in the following stages:
Full battery power (or AC adapter in use)
Battery power is decreasing
Battery power low (time to buy new batteries)
Battery power is almost out
Change batteries
You should use the battery icon only as a guide to estimate
remaining power. Several factors can affect battery life,
including the surrounding temperature and the type of
batteries you use. Low temperatures (especially below
50 °F) weaken your batteries.
Snapping the Shutter
Follow these steps to take a picture:
1
Turn the camera on and wait until the green ready
light comes on.
2
Look straight through the viewfinder and center your
subject. Make sure that the entire image you want in
the picture is within the viewfinder’s yellow frame.
3
Slowly press the shutter button.
4
Hold the camera still until it beeps and the red standby
light starts flashing.
The flashing red light indicates that the camera has
captured the image and is processing it. (If you try to press
the shutter button again, you’ll hear an “error” beep.)
