Taking pictures
This chapter describes the basic process of taking pictures with
your digital camera and gives you tips for taking the best pictures.
It also describes how to use the optical or digital zoom and the
self-timer.
Note If the camera is on, you can take a picture anytime,
even if the image display is off or shows a menu.
Taking a picture
1 With the camera on, frame your subject in the viewfinder.
2 Press and hold the
SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the
camera to adjust the focus and exposure.
3 When you see the steady green light to the right of the
viewfinder, press the
SHUTTER button all the way down to take
the picture. Wait for the beeps that indicate your picture has
been taken, and then release the
SHUTTER button.
A red light appears next to the viewfinder to indicate that the
image is being processed. After the red light turns off, the CF
card access LED turns on to indicate that the image is copying
to the CF memory card. You can take another picture when the
CF card access indicator light turns off.
Note The Instant Review feature allows you to review an
image immediately after you take a picture. While
the image is shown on the image display, you can
choose to save or delete it. For more information,
see “Setting Instant Review” on page 25.
