First Steps: Taking Your First Photograph
Step 8—Take a photograph
To take a photograph, press the shutter-release button all the way down.
The autofocus lamp will flash rapidly and an hourglass icon ( ) will be
displayed in the color LCD monitor while the photograph is being recorded
to the compact flash memory card. Once the process of recording the
photograph to memory is complete, the exposure count in the control panel
and color LCD monitor will go down by one.
The camera will then be ready to shoot another photograph.
Note: At some settings, the exposure count may not change when a
photograph has been recorded.
