Taking Pictures (Cont’d)
Taking Pictures using the LCD Monitor
- You can take a picture while looking at the LCD monitor, instead of through the
viewfinder.
- Using the LCD monitor consumes battery power at a high rate, so it is recom-
mended to have a spare charged battery on hand (sold separately, Lithium-ion
Battery NP-500), or to use the AC adapter (sold separately, AC-8U/AC-8E/AC-
8GB; see P.11 for details).
1. Once the power supply is turned on
by opening the lens cover, the LCD
monitor will come on, and a live
image (the image taken though the
lens) will be projected.
• Date and time displayed will go off in
approx. 5 seconds.
2. While looking at the LCD monitor,
compose and take your photo.
• The shooting procedures are the same as
“Taking a picture using the viewfinder”
(pp.31-32).
• Focus value and shutter speed will be dis-
played on the live image by half depressing
the shutter button on through image.
• When the writing process to the card is
completed, the live image will reappear.
