ASIC RECORDING
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the pic-
ture.
The example uses auto recording. Except for movie recording, the operation for
other exposure modes is the same. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is
only available in the auto recording mode.
Place the subject anywhere within the focus frame. Make sure the
subject is within the focus range of the lens (p. 24). For very close
subjects, use the macro function (p. 35).
Basic recording operation
Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and
exposure. An AF sensor (a) is displayed to indicate the subject.
Automatic Digital Subject Selection will choose the appropriate
exposure mode, see the facing page.
The focus signal (b) on the monitor will confirm focus lock. If the
focus signal is red, the camera was unable to locate the subject.
Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white. The shutter
speed (c) and aperture (d) appears and turns black to indicate the
exposure is locked.

Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection
Automatic Digital Program Selection chooses between program autoexposure and one of five digital
subject programs. The digital subject programs optimize camera setting for various conditions and
subjects. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only available in auto recording and can be
disabled in the auto-recording menu. For information on individual subject programs, see page 29.
A row of gray indicators at the top on the monitor display will indi-
cate Automatic Digital Subject Selection is active. Place the subject
in the focus frames; the procedure is the same as the basic record-
ing operation described on page 22.
Press the shutter-release button partway down; the AF system will
locate the subject and the Automatic Digital Subject Selection func-
tion will choose a subject program. If no indicators are displayed,
program autoexposure is active. Press the shutter-release button all
the way down to take the picture. Hold the camera steadily when
the sunset subject program is selected as exposures can be long.
