• The POWER switch automatically

ON/OFF

 

 

 

 

slides back to its original position

 

 

 

when you release it.

 

 

 

• When power comes on, the image of the object that is in

 

 

front of the camera’s lens appears on the LCD.

 

 

 

• You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2

 

 

then 1).

 

 

 

3. Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to

 

 

(NORMAL)

position.

 

 

 

Note that the number of images that can be stored in memory is different depending on whether images are saved in the Normal Mode or Fine Mode. See “Resolution Modes” on page 24 for details.

5.Record the image.
Compose the image you want to
record while viewing it on the LCD.

It is best to look at the LCD di- rectly, and not from an angle.

• Take care that your finger is not blocking the lens.

• Should the lens become dirty, use the cloth that comes with the camera to clean it off.

If the object whose image you are recording is about 13 centimeters from the lens (about 5 inches), set

the NORMAL/MACRO switch to (MACRO). See page 24 for details on using this switch.

Note

The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

When the image is situated on the LCD as you want it, press the shutter button.

Press the shutter button lightly to avoid moving the camera. See page 21 for information on how to avoid hand move- ment.

The message “WAIT” appears on the LCD for about six sec- onds along with the image that was recorded when you pressed the shutter button. You can use the camera to take the next picture after the “WAIT” message disappears.

Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY posi- tion and view the image you just recorded.
