Basic Recording Operation
Place the subject within the focus frame. For off-center sub-
jects, use the focus-lock function (p. 34).
The subject must be within the focus range of the lens: 0.5m
(1.6ft) - ∞. For subjects closer than 0.5m (1.6ft), use the macro
function (p. 49).
Use the zooming ring to frame the subject (1). The effect of
the zoom is immediately displayed in the viewfinder (EVF) and
LCD monitor.
Press the shutter-release button partway down (2) to lock the
focus and exposure.
When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear in the
live image to indicate the point of focus. The focus signals (p.
35) on the monitors 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.
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 (3) to take
the picture. The access lamp glows indicating the image data
is being written to the memory card. Never remove a card
while data is being transferred.
