Taking pictures
RECORD MODE
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.6" LCD monitor to
compose images. Taking images using the optical viewfinder will conserve bat-
tery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you only compose
images by using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor you can compose images
more accurately, but at the cost of battery consumption. Always use the image
LCD for macro shots, however, to avoid parallax effects. The LCD image display
must be used when Digital Zoom is used.
Using the viewfinder
1. Open the lens cover.
2. Turn the mode dial to the
mode.
3. Turn the camera on by pressing the
button.
4. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.
5. Press the shutter button down halfway (the
camera adjusts the exposure and the focus),
then press it the rest of the way down.
When the camera adjusts the exposure and
focus, the LED indicator lights red. Take a
picture until the LED indicator lights green.
The LED indicator blinks orange while the
camera is processing a captured image.
