QUICK START BASICS
5. Continuing to keep the camera still, press the
shutter button all the way down.
The recorded image will remain on the display for about one
second, and then it will be stored in memory. After that, the
camera will be ready to shoot the next image.
Snapshot Image Size and Image Quality
Your camera lets you select from among various image size
and quality settings. Note that image size and quality
settings affect how many images can be stored in memory.
• You can change the image size and quality settings as
required to shoot a smaller or lower-resolution image for
attachment to an e-mail message, for publishing on a
website, etc. You can also select an image size that suits
the size of paper you plan to use for printing your images.
For details, see pages 62, 63, and 282.
How do I half-press the shutter button?
The shutter button is designed to stop about half way down
when you press it lightly. Stopping at this point is called a
“half-press”. When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the
subject it is currently pointed at.
Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press
and a full-press of the shutter button is an important
technique for good-looking images.
