Taking Still Photos

After completing the basic and Syncfocus setups as described in the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo:

1.Raise the LCD display (A) and briefly press and release the ON/OFF button-the startup screen will appear, followed by the live image from the camera lens. The display also shows the battery condition, number of photos remaining, and the current setting of various options. Please refer to “LCD Preview Display Icons” for more details.

2.The SyncFocus will default to high resolution and quality settings, as well as “everything on automatic” when it is turned on for the first time, so you’re ready to take photos under most conditions with no need to change anything. If you’d like to explore the various available options, see the manual section titled “Using the Main Menu-Options and Settings” for directions regarding how to select and change settings such as resolution, image quality and exposure.

3.You may compose your photo while looking through the binocular (the LCD does not need to be on to take a photo). However, for the most accurate framing, checking the LCD preview display is recommended.

4.Hold the camera as steady as possible with both hands and gently press the SNAP button. If possible, attach the SyncFocus to a tripod and plug the supplied remote shutter cable into the remote jack (H) to obtain the steadiest results (press the button on the remote to take a photo). The display will “freeze” briefly immediately after a photo is taken-this is normal while the image is being stored in the internal or card memory.
