Taking pictures
To take pictures using your Digital Camera:
Turn the camera on.
In low light conditions, check to make sure the flash is ready. Be sure the Flash is set
to AUTO.
Use the aiming mark in the viewfinder to center the image you want to capture.
Alternatively, use the color LCD display to view the image you want to capture. The
color LCD comes on automatically in preview mode when the camera is turned on.
Press the LCD button again to view preview mode with icons.
Hold the camera still and press the shutter button.
The LCD will indicate when the picture has been successfully taken by cycling
through the number display. If the sound feature is turned on, one short beep will
also indicate that a picture has been taken.
Note: Safety while taking pictures
Do not use the camera while you are walking, running, driving or operating machinery.
Doing so can result in a serious accident.
About Autobrite® technology
The camera offers the benefits of a technology known as Autobrite. This technology
automatically adjusts the exposure and captures crisp details in scenes where both dim and
bright lighting conditions are present, such as glare or backlighting. Most existing digital
cameras produce washed out or silhouetted images under such conditions. We suggest you
try to avoid taking pictures pointing directly at bright objects (such as the sun), due to the
potential impact of extremely bright lighting on image quality and lens flare.
Autobrite is proprietary to SMaL Camera Technologies, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Low light lock-out
Low light lock-out is a feature that prevents the camera from taking pictures in low light
settings when the flash is not ready. When low light lock-out is enabled the camera will give
a warning beep – even if the sound is off. To override low light lock-out, continue holding
the shutter button for 1 second after the warning beep.
