Using the Shutter Button

The shutter button features a two-stage action.

Pressing Halfway

Lightly press the shutter button halfway to automatically set the exposure and focus settings. The camera will beep twice and the upper indicator will shine green (red for flash) when the metering is finished.

•The lower indicator will also shine orange when the camera is ready in macro mode.

Pressing Fully

Press the button all the way down to activate the shutter. The beep will sound once. The upper indicator will flash green while the image is being recorded onto the CF card.

•The recorded image will be temporarily stored in the camera’s built-in memory and then be written to the CF card. As long as there is sufficient built- in memory free, the next image can be recorded immediately after the previous image.

•With the LCD monitor in information view mode, you can view the status of the image being written to the CF card with the memory display (built-in) at the bottom right.
