Taking Still Pictures
You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on,
regardless of what is shown on the Image Display.
1. Press until appears in
the upper left corner of the Image
Display, then frame the subject for
your picture.
2. Hold the camera steady and press
the Shutter button halfway down to
measure and lock the focus and
exposure. The focus brackets in the Image Display turn
solid green when focus is locked (see
page 37).
3. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the
picture. You may hear a shutter click when the camera
takes the picture (see
Camera Sounds on page 115).
TIP: Hold the camera with both hands when pressing the
Shutter button to reduce camera shake and prevent blurry
pictures.
TIP: To remove a memory card after taking pictures, turn the
camera off and wait a few seconds before removing the
card to ensure images are fully stored.
The captured image appears in Instant Review (see
page 117) on the Image Display. During the first second,
green focus brackets display if the image is in focus and red
brackets if not. To delete the image, press , then select This
Image in the Delete sub-menu.
TIP: You can change the length of time images are displayed
in Instant Review (see page 117).
You can use Playback (see page 83) to review the pictures
you have taken.
