2.Frame the subject using the LCD screen.

3.Press the Shutter button.

The still image is taken when a beep sounds. Do not move the camera until you hear the beep.

The camera is ready to take another picture when a message “BUSY” disappears from the LCD screen.

NOTE:

Minimum distance between the lens and your subject must be 1m.

Take care when shooting the following subjects as they are difficult to bring into focus:

-Low contrast subjects such as a flat white surface

-Flat, smooth objects

-Quickly moving objects

-Subjects that are dimly illuminated

For best results, focus on a separate object that is near your subject and then shoot the picture.
