BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Place the subject within the focus frame.
• The focus-lock function (p. 24) can be used with off-center
subjects.
• Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens: 0.5m -
∞ (wide-angle position), 0.9m - ∞ (telephoto position. For subjects
closer than 0.6m, use the macro function (p. 28).
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus
and exposure.
• The focus signals (p. 25) in the monitor will confirm that the image is in
focus. If the focus signal is red, the camera was unable to focus on the
subject. Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear on the live image
to indicate the point of focus.
• The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to black
indicating the exposure is locked.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the
picture.
• The access lamp will glow indicating image data is being written to the
CompactFlash card. Never remove a CompactFlash card while data is
being transferred.
With the mode dial set to auto recording, the camera will be on and the LCD
monitor will activate.
