Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 23
NOTE If you change other camera settings in the Capture
menu, icons for those settings will also be displayed
across the top and bottom of the Live View screen. For
more information, see Using the capture menu on
page 34.
Using the diopter control
The rubber eye piece on the viewfinder is a diopter control that
you can turn to adjust the focus in the microdisplay. However,
the diopter control has NO effect on the actual picture you take
or video clip you record.
Taking still pictures
You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on,
regardless of what is being shown on the active display. Your
camera has two modes for taking still pictures: Still mode
and Self-Timer mode.
Using still mode
1 Rotate the OFF/Mode selector to
Still mode.
2 Frame the subject for your
picture in the active display.
3 Hold the camera steady and
press the Shutter button
halfway down. The camera
measures and then locks the
focus and exposure.
4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
The image is displayed for several seconds in Instant Review
on the active display. See Using instant review on page 25.
