1.Get the camera ready. (Refer to “Getting Started”)

2.Toggle the [MODE] button to select the Camera mode [].

3.Turn the Normal / Macro switch dial to Normal .

4.Frame your subject. You may use either the viewfinder or the 1.5" full color TFT LCD monitor (Toggle the [DISPLAY]/ Up button to activate or deactivate it)

*We recommend, however, that the viewfinder be used as far as possible to extend battery time since the LCD is highly power consumptive.

5.Press the shutter button fully down.

If the “QUICK VIEW” function has been set to ON, the image captured will appear on the LCD monitor for a few seconds.

6.To continue capturing, repeat the above steps 4 & 5.

Notes:

zTo adjust the Image Quality and Resolution, please refer to “Setting the Image Resolution and Quality”.

zWhen the storage memory is full, you may either erase the images that are no more required, or insert a new memory card.

zThe number of remaining shots shown on the LCD monitor is an approximate value based on the currently set resolution, picture quality and memory size.

zThe actual number of remaining shots also differ depending on the shooting conditions. Hence, a single shot may reduce the value by two or not change the value at all. This is not a malfunction of the LCD monitor. Also, upon the camera being turned on, memory adjustments are made and the indicated remaining value may actually be higher than when the camera was last turned off.

zWhen you take pictures in bright locations or in clear fine weather, lines may appear on the monitor. This is not a malfunction.

zPress the shutter button down steadily.

zWhen the Status Indicator is lit, shooting/replay is not possible. Wait until the light goes off.

zNever open the Battery/Memory card compartment door when the Status Indicator is lit for this may cause malfunction.

zPlease format new Memory cards with this camera before using them.

zWe recommend that you take some test shots to get accustomed to the camera before you actually start.

zWe cannot bear any responsibility for an inability to record or replay material normally, in the event of a problem with this camera.

zStore backups of important images in eg. your personal computer. We cannot bear any responsibility for any loss or alteration to the images stored in the camera’s internal or external memory.
