Taking pictures
RECORD MODE
The camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder and a 1.6" LCD monitor to com-
pose pictures. Taking pictures by using the viewfinder can conserve battery power.
If the battery level is low and there are no extra batteries handy, we recommend
that you use the viewfinder to compose pictures. Using LCD monitor can accu-
rately compose pictures and examine all details but consume more battery power.
Using the viewfinder
1. Turn the camera on by sliding the POWER
switch.
2. Turn the mode dial to the mode or the
mode.
3. Compose the picture in the viewfinder.
4. Press the shutter button down halfway (the
camera adjusts the exposure and the focus),
then press it the rest of the way down.
When the camera adjusts the exposure and
focus, the LED indicator lights red. Take a
picture until the LED indicator lights green.
The LED indicator blinks orange while the
camera is processing a captured image.
