3 USING THE DC S30
This chapter describes the camera operating modes, and explains how to take pictures, make
movies, and listen to audio such as MP3 files or FM radio.
3.1 Capture Mode
Auto capture mode enables you to take pictures and allow the camera to set camera functions
such as the white balance and focus automatically. Manual mode enables you to make more
precise settings to accommodate different shooting conditions.
3.1.1 Composing Pictures
Your camera provides three capture mode options: single image capturing, continuous image
capturing, and self-timer capturing. It is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5-
inch full color LTPS LCD monitor to compose images. Taking images using the optical
viewfinder conserves battery power. Using the LCD monitor helps you accurately compose
pictures and examine all details. However, the LCD consumes more battery power.
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER button.
2. Set the mode dial to Auto or Manual mode .
3. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.
4. Press the shutter button down halfway to enable the autofocus
to get a clear image, and then press it down fully to capture the
image.
