Focusing and shooting
1
Compose the picture.
•Center the autofocus frame mark on the
subject.
•To ensure sharp pictures, make sure
your subject is at least approx. 0.4m
(1.3 ft.) away from the camera.
2
Focus on the subject.
▼
Lightly press the shutter release
button.
•The green LED lights up when focusing
is complete.
If the green LED blinks slowly:
the
shutter is locked, because the shooting
distance is less than 0.4m (1.3 ft.).
If the green LED blinks quickly:
the
subject is difficult to focus (
-
P. 17).
In this case, the shutter can be released,
resulting in out-of-focus pictures.
3
Gently depress the shutter
release button all the way to
take a picture.
•If there is not enough light or the subject is
backlit, the flash fires automatically.

•After shooting, the number of available frames
is reduced on the LCD panel one-by-one.
•Pressing the shutter release button with a
jerky motion may cause camera shake.
Close the slide cover to turn the camera
power off to save battery power.
