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.
