SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY
While pressing the Dial Lock Release, turn the exposure dial
to the program (P) position. The camera controls the
exposure system.
Full-auto program (circled P) acts like the program mode,
except that the many of the recording functions are reset
each time it is selected, see page 40 for more information.
BASIC RECORDING
Grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body
with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and
your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily. The use of
a tripod or monopod is recommended when using the camera in low-
light situations or when using telephoto lenses.
