Gently press the shutter button
half way.
The camera emits a small beep and the
AF correct mark in the lower left corner of
the viewfinder lights green when the
subject is completely in focus. Keep the
button pressed halfway and go to Step 2.
If the AF correct mark in the lower left
corner of the viewfinder blinks, the subject
is not completely focused. Release the
shutter button, compose the picture again
by centering on another part of the
subject, and then repeat from Step 1. If
you see the
mark blinking, this is the
low light warning, telling you that you must
use the built-in flash. Press the flash
button
to open the built-in flash unit.

Gently fully-press the shutter
button.
The picture is taken and the image starts
to be stored on the memory card. The card
access lamp blinks while the picture is
being stored on the card.
To take another picture, repeat from Step
1. You can take a picture continuously
except for the case that the memory
gauge is blinking. (

Taking pictures without half-pressing
Taking a picture takes precedence over focusing. The subject may not be completely focused since
focusing is interrupted.
Low battery warning lights steadily immediately after taking a shot?
If you take a picture while the low battery warning is blinking, the low battery warning may stop
blinking immediately after the shooting. In that case, the picture may not be taken properly. Replace
the batteries with new ones, then play back and check the pictures. (
