• The camera automatically adjusts
the focus and exposure. While this is
happening, the image on the LCD
monitor disappears briefly and
“STANDBY” appears on the LCD
monitor. When the camera is
focused, the image reappears and
the viewfinder lamp turns green.
• The camera focuses on a subject at a distance of between roughly 50
cm and infinity. To focus on subjects closer than 50 cm, use Macro
(close-up) mode (
aP.39).
• See P.27 for more information on using the shutter button.

Without lifting your finger off,
press the shutter button
down fully.
• The electronic beep sounds and the
picture is taken.
• While the image data is being
recorded onto the SmartMedia, the
viewfinder lamp turns orange. You
cannot take pictures while the lamp
is orange.
• When recording is completed, the electronic beep sounds and the
number of shots available shown on the LCD monitor decreases by 1.
n NOTES
• Using the viewfinder to take pictures uses less battery power and allows you to take
pictures longer.
• If you check the photographed image and it is not properly focused, lock the auto
focus on a subject with strong contrasts (
aP.27) and take the picture again.
• Look at the LCD monitor from directly in front.
• Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera shake (blurred images).
• The amount of image data recorded is not fixed and varies depending on factors
such as the level of detail in the image. As a result, in some cases the number of
shots available may not decrease, or may decrease by 2 when recording ends.
! CAUTION
Never remove the SmartMedia while data is being recorded as this can corrupt
the data on the SmartMedia or damage the SmartMedia itself.
