PHOTOGRAPHY MODE

[ ] Auto Mode

Auto photography mode is the most commonly used photography mode. Images can be captured simply because the exposure

(the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting) is determined automatically to suit the photographic conditions.

You can use either the optical viewfinder and/or the 2.5" LCD monitor to compose your images. Capturing images

using the optical viewfinder will conserve the battery power. If the battery power is low, it is recommended that you

only compose images using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor, you can compose images more accurately, but

at the cost of the battery consumption. Always use the LCD display for close-up macro shots.

1. Press the POWER button to turn on the camera.

2. Slide the mode switch to [

] and set the mode dial to [ ].

3. Compose your image in the LCD monitor.

J If you are composing your image in the viewfinder, turn the “diopter

adjustment dial” until the image appears clearly within the viewfinder.

4. Press the shutter button down halfway.

J Pressing the shutter button down halfway automatically focuses

and adjusts the exposure.

J The focus-area frame turns blue and the status LED lights green

when the camera is focused and exposure is determined.

J When the focus or exposure is not suitable, the frame of the focus

area turns yellow and the status LED flashes red.

5. Press the shutter button down fully to capture the image.

J If the photographic preview is set to “On”, images (the captured image)

will be displayed while the image is being recorded onto the memory.

J When the voice memo is set to “On”, [VOICE RECORDING] will be

displayed on the screen immediately after the image is captured

and voice memo recording will start.

J Press the shutter button one more time during recording, or wait for

30 seconds, [VOICE RECORD END] will be displayed and the

recording will end. A [

] icon is displayed with images that have

been recorded with a voice memo.
