BASIC RECORDING OPERATION

Place the subject within the AF area.

The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center subjects. 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 monitor focus signal and viewfinder indicator lamp glows when the focus is locked; the flash signal appears if the flash is going to fire. If the focus signal and indicator lamp blink, the camera could not focus, repeat the procedure.

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

After the shutter releases, the viewfinder indicator 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 consecutive images is captured. The previous image is displayed between exposures.
