Shooting (Still Picture Mode)
This section explains how to shoot pictures in Still Picture mode. Hold the
camera correctly to keep it steady.
A Aim the camera at your subject.
Note
• Use macro mode to shoot subjects
closer than about 24 cm. → P.63
“Close-up Shooting (Macro Mode)”
B Press the zoom lever and decide the
size of your subject.
See
• P.45 “Checking the Position of the
Subject”
• P.46 “Setting the Size of the Subject
(Zoom)”
C Press the shutter release button
lightly with your fingertip.
The shutter release button works in a two-
step action. When you press it lightly
(halfway), the autofocus function is enabled
to focus on the subject automatically. Keep
the camera as steady as possible to ensure
correct focusing.
The AF LED (green) will light and the
indicator
on the LCD monitor will turn to
green when the subject is in focus and the
focus, exposure and white balance will be
set.
Note
• The subject will be out of focus when the auto focus lamp flashes red
and the indicator on the LCD monitor turns red. Use the focus lock
function. → P.49 “Focus Lock Shooting”
• If the “SLOW SHUTTER” message appears, you are recommended to
shoot with the flash enabled as camera shake tends to occur in this
situation. → P.55 “Changing Flash Modes”
