TAKING PICTURES

There are two ways to compose your subject—with the  
viewfinder or using the monitor. Depending on the shooting 
situation, there may be advantages to each method. Please refer 
to the printed Basic Manual for more information.

Taking a Picture with the Viewfinder

   • Turn the camera Power/Mode dial 
      to "P" (Program shooting). 
   • Frame your subject using the 
      crosshairs in the viewfinder.
   • Press the shutter button halfway.

The C-4000 Zoom confirms the focus 
and exposure are properly set when 
you see a steady green lamp in the 
viewfinder. The orange lamp informs 
you that the flash is recommended and/
or recharging (when blinking); or ready 
to fire (when steady). 
   
   • Press the shutter button completely to take the picture. 
      A short beep confirms your picture has been taken.

Zooming

The C-4000 Zoom features a zoom lens, allowing you to 
get closer to the action, or capture wide-angle shots and 
get everything into the picture.

   • Pull the lever toward "

T

" to choose telephoto shooting  

      and get closer to your subject.
   • Push it toward "

W

" to choose wide-angle shooting. 

Taking a Picture with the Monitor

   • Press      once while in shooting mode, and frame your             
      subject using the full-color monitor.

Number of Storable Pictures

Your C-4000 Zoom Digital Camera package includes a 16 MB 
SmartMedia card. In the default quality setting of HQ mode (High 
Quality), you have enough capacity to store approximately 16 pictures.

This mode allows you to capture high quality images with medium 
file sizes. The HQ mode is suitable for most shooting situations.

See the C-4000 Zoom Basic Manual for complete descriptions of 
each quality mode, and the storable frame capacity for the 
various resolution modes.

TIP: To find out how many frames you have left, turn on the monitor and look 
for the number in the lower left corner. Remember, you can always delete 
unwanted pictures to make room for more. (See Step 5).

Erasing Pictures

the photos you want, delete the rest, and reuse empty 
memory space to take new pictures. The C-4000 Zoom 
offers two ways to permanently erase unwanted digital 
photos:

Single-Frame Erase

: Deletes only the picture currently 

displayed in the monitor.

operation, except for pictures you have protected.

      CARD SETUP screen.
   • The ALL ERASE option is highlighted. Press     .
   • As a safeguard, the C-4000 Zoom will ask you to select YES or 
      NO to confirm erasing, as this process permanently deletes all 
      unprotected pictures. Select YES using the arrow keys and 
      press    .
