Basic recording operation

Place the subject within the AF area.

The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center sub- jects. If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide- angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position, only use the LCD monitor to frame the subject.

Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure.

The aperture value (f-number) and shutter speed is displayed at the top right of the monitor when the exposure is locked. The green viewfinder indicator lamp glows when the focus is locked; the red lamp glows if the flash is going to be used. If the green indicator lamp blinks, the camera could not focus, repeat the pro- cedure.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the picture.

After the shutter releases, the green viewfinder indicator lamp blinks and the red lamp glows while image data is being written to the memory card. Never remove a memory card while data is being transferred.

If the shutter-release button is pressed and held, a series of con- secutive images is captured. The previous image is displayed between exposures. The rate of capture depends on the image size and other functions used. The flash must recharge between exposures. With 2816 X 1536 size images and continuous-advance focus lock on (p. 80), the maximum rate of capture is 0.7fps.
