Turning the Camera On and Off
When you turn on the camera the first time, you need to set the current
date (month, day, and year) and time (hours and minutes) on the LCD
monitor. Once these settings are made, the camera automatically
records the date and time for each picture taken.
For instructions, see “Setting the Time and Date” on page 41.

Caution:
Never turn off the power while the memory card access light is on. This
may cause data in the card to be lost or damaged, or render the memory
card unusable. Under certain circumstances, the memory card access
light may remain on for several seconds after taking a picture (for
example, if you turn on noise reduction and take a long exposure).
Taking a Picture
1. Make sure the camera is turned on and a memory card is installed.
2. Before taking a picture, you may need to adjust the white balance,
image quality setting, ISO sensitivity, exposure, and focus, as
described on the following pages.
3. When you are ready to shoot, push the shutter charge lever as far
as it will go to the right to cock the shutter.
Note:
The shutter charge lever can be left in the “ready” position when shooting
a series of pictures.
