24 RECORDING – BASIC OPERATION
Basic recording operation
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the
focus and exposure.
The aperture value (f-number) and shutter speed is displayed at
the top right of the monitor when the exposure is locked. The
green viewfinder indicator lamp glows when the focus is locked;
the red lamp glows if the flash is going to be used. If the green
indicator lamp blinks, the camera could not focus, repeat the pro-
cedure.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the
picture.
After the shutter releases, the green viewfinder indicator lamp
blinks and the red lamp glows while image data is being written to
the memory card. Never remove a memory card while data is
being transferred.
If the shutter-release button is pressed and held, a series of con-
secutive images is captured. The previous image is displayed
between exposures. The rate of capture depends on the image
size and other functions used. The flash must recharge between
exposures. With 2816 X 1536 size images and continuous-advance
focus lock on (p. 80), the maximum rate of capture is 0.7fps.
Place the subject within the AF area.
The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center sub-
jects. If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-
angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position, only use the
LCD monitor to frame the subject.
