• Taking Photos

Now that you are familiar with your camera, you are now ready to take your photos.

Taking photos with your camera is very simple.

1.Turn on the camera by pressing the Power button. By doing this, your camera is set to Record mode.

2.Frame your shot using the focus frame on the LCD display. See illustration on the right.

3.Press the shutter button halfway down. The camera automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. When the camera is ready to take the photo, the focus frame turns green, the shutter speed and aperture value are displayed. (When the focus frame is in red and the operation

LED blinks, the subject is not in focus. Release the shutter button, recompose the scene and press the shutter button halfway to reset the focus.)

4.Press the Shutter button all the way down to capture your image. When the shake warning icon appears, hold the camera steady, with your arms at your side or use a tripod to stabilize the camera to prevent a blurry image. You may need to turn on the camera’s flash or enable the Image Stabilizer feature to get a better picture.

•Using the Image Stabilizer

The Image Stabilizer function prevents blurred images caused by shaking. This function is only available if ISO is set to Auto.
