Taking Sports Pictures ( 
)
Your digital camera features Sports mode ( 
) which automatically adjusts the camera to a higher shutter speed (of 1/500 second, at most) to "freeze" the subject in action. This makes the subject appear sharp and the background blurred, giving the picture a feeling of speed.
To photograph a subject in action:
1.Turn the dial knob to Sports mode ( 
) .
2.Use the LCD monitor or optical viewfinder to center on the subject you want to take a picture of.
Note:
If you are using optical viewfinder, adjust the view angle adjustment knob until you get the clearest image via viewfinder.
3.Press the shutter button halfway down to lock in the auto focus and exposure. You will then
hear two beeps of sound, and at the same time, see a green LED lit. 4.Now press the shutter button all the way down.
You will hear a beep which indicates that the picture has been captured.
After a picture is taken, it will be shown on the LCD monitor for a few seconds. A "DELETE THIS PHOTO?" message also appears on the LCD monitor. If you are not satisfied with the picture, press ENTER button on your camera. This will remove the picture:
a. If your camera is inserted with the CF card, then it will remove the picture on the CF card. b. If your camera is not inserted with the CF card, then it will remove the picture on the internal
memory.
