First Steps: Taking Your First Photograph
Step 2—Turn the selector dial to A-REC
To enter automatic recording mode, turn the
selector dial to A-REC. After a one- to two-
second pause while the camera starts up, current
settings will be displayed in the control panel and
color LCD monitor (if not visible in the monitor,
settings can be displayed by pressing the MONI-
TOR button until they appear).
Note: The camera may become warm during use, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
Note: To save battery power, the camera will automatically turn the color
LCD monitor off if no operations are performed for thirty seconds (three
minutes when menus are displayed). Press the MONITOR button to turn
the monitor back on (if the monitor has not been turned off manually, the
monitor will come on when the shutter button is half pressed).
