4.Press the shutter button half way.

This causes the camera to adjust focus automatically.

5.When the image is focused, press the shutter button all the way down to record.

• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise

(graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the

camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction

process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or

slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the

possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image.

Also note that the digital noise reduction process can

cause it to take longer to record each image.

• At shutter speeds slower than 1/8 second, the brightness

of the recorded image may not be the same as the

brightness of the image that appears on the monitor

screen.
