BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Place the subject within the focus frame.
For off centre subjects use the focus-lock function (p. 30).
Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the
lens: 0.5m - . For subjects closer than 0.5m, use the
macro function (p. 69).
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) or press
and hold the AF/AEL button (2) to lock the focus and
exposure.
The focus signals (p. 31) in the monitors will confirm that the
image is in focus. If the focus signal is red, the camera was
unable to focus on the subject. Repeat the previous steps until
the signal is white.
When the focus is set, an AF sensor symbol will briefly appear
on the live image to indicate the point of focus.
The shutter speed and aperture value will change from
white to black indicating the exposure is locked.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down
(3) to take the picture.
The access lamp will glow indicating the image data is
being written to the CompactFlash card. Never
remove a CompactFlash card while data is being
transferred.
With the mode dial set to still-image recording, the camera will be
on and the electronic viewfinder (EVF) and LCD monitor will
activate.
