passing through the lens to reach the CCD. A larger

After making sure that the
image is focused properly,
press the shutter button the
rest of the way down to
record.
The number of images you can
record depends on the image
size and the image quality setting
you are using
(pages 69, 70, 230).
IMPORTANT!
When the REC tabs Quick Shutter setting is
turned on (page 73), the camera immediately records
the image without waiting for Auto Focus to be
performed when you press the shutter release all the
way down without pausing. This helps to ensure that
you are able to capture exactly the moment you
want.
