1.Point the camera at the subject.

If you are shooting with Premium Auto PRO, text will appear at the bottom of the monitor screen describing the type of shot the camera has detected.

• You can zoom the image, if you want.

Appears when the camera detects it is stationary on a tripod.

If the camera decides that it needs to shoot a series of images with Continuous Shutter (CS), it will display “Š”. Take care to avoid any camera and subject movement until shooting of all of the CS images is complete.

2.Half-press the shutter button to focus the image.

When focus is complete, the camera will beep, the back lamp will light green, and the focus frame will turn green.

Press lightly until the button stops.

When you half-press the shutter button, the camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the subject it is currently pointed at. Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press and a full-press of the shutter button is an important technique for good-looking images.
