First Things First
Frame Your Picture
There are two ways to frame a picture; with the optical
viewfinder or with the camera’s LCD monitor.
The actual picture captured will be slightly larger than
what you see in the optical viewfinder.
TIP: For close-up pictures, use the LCD monitor to
frame your shots.
Capturing Images
Center your picture in the viewfinder and press the
shutter release button on top of the camera to capture the
image.

Just after the picture is taken, the LCD monitor goes
blank for a moment before displaying the captured image
(the picture will display momentarily even if the LCD
monitor is turned off). Usually the picture number is
decreased by one when a picture is taken, but this may
not be the case depending on settings used. A higher
resolution picture or one using maximum color depth
will use more storage space than a standard picture (for
more information about camera settings, see the next
section, “Setting Preferences”).
Do not block the lens or flash with your fingers.
Never open the battery chamber cover, disconnect the
AC adapter from the camera, or unplug it from the
wall socket while an image is being stored. Doing so
may cause the image to be lost.
The inner viewfinder box will be
used by the camera’s auto focus
mechanism to aim.
The outer viewfinder box is for 2x
Zoom photography. For more
information about ZOOM, see the
“Camera Features” section.
The shutter release button is
the largest on the camera.
