Quick Start Basics
1. Point the camera at the subject.
If you are using Premium Auto, text will appear in
the lower right corner of the monitor screen
describing the type of shot the camera has
detected.
• Touch the “+” or “–” mark on the top of the
zoom bar to change the zoom factor (page 41).

2. Half-press the shutter button to
focus the image.
When focus is complete, the camera
will beep, the back lamp will light
green, and the focus frame will turn
green.
When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and
focuses on the subject it is currently pointed
at. Mastering how much pressure is required
for a half-press and a full-press of the shutter
button is an important technique for good-
looking images.
3. Continuing to keep the camera still,
press the shutter button the rest of
the way down.
