Full-press
1
Press the shutter release
button all the way down
(full-press).
• Press the shutter release
button gently. If you press it
too hard, the camera will
move and blur the shot.
• The shot is taken and the
camera beeps.
• The green lamp next to
viewfinder blinks for a few
moments, and it goes off.
2
To take another picture,
compose the shot and
full-press the shutter release
button.
• If you attempt to take a picture
before the green lamp goes
off, the camera does not beep
but you still cannot take the
picture. Wait for a few seconds
and make sure the green
lamp goes off before taking
another shot.
• To turn the power off, see
“Turning the Power Off” (p.47).
CAUTION
• Never open the card compartment cover, remove the batteries or card, or
disconnect the AC adapter while the green lamp and write mark are
blinking.This could damage the pictures you have already taken, as well
as the one currently being written to the card.
HELP
• The area of the actual photo will be slightly larger than the shot appears
through the viewfinder.
• If the write mark is blinking, this indicates that the image is being
processed.You cannot depress the shutter release button while the write
mark is blinking.
• If you switch the beep function off (p.98), the camera will not beep after
taking a picture. In this case you must watch the green lamp. If the lamp
blinks, the picture was taken successfully.
