Shoot.

●Press the shutter button fully.

The camera will play the shutter sound and shoot. The flash will automatically fire in low light conditions.

The indicator will blink green while the image is recorded to the memory card. The image will appear on the screen for about two seconds.

●You can take a second picture even while an image is displayed by pressing the shutter button.

What if...

•The camera does not play any sounds?

Pressing the p button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button, select the 3 tab, and then select [Mute]. Use the qr buttons to select [Off].

•The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
