ϪTaking Photos
Once your camera is turned on, you can compose pictures using the viewfinder or the LCD

composed through the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor must be used when Digital Zoom is
used.

2. Ensure the macro switch on the side of
the camera is turned to Normal (

3. If the LCD monitor is off, turn it on by
pressing the right direction button.
4. Compose your shot in the viewfinder or
on the LCD screen..
5. Press the shutter button to take the
picture.

range. The Macro Mode (
