BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image.

Recording an Image

Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera’s built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera.

• When an optionally available SD memory card or

MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the camera, images

are stored on the card (page118).

3.Compose the image on the monitor screen so the main subject is within the focus frame.

•The focusing range of the camera in the Auto Focus mode is

approximately 40cm (1.3 feet) to infinity (∞ ) (page 57).
