Taking Photos
Turning the Camera On and Off
| Turn on | Turn off |
When you turn on the camera the first time, you need to set the current date (month, day, and year) and time (hours and minutes) on the LCD monitor. Once these settings are made, the camera automatically records the date and time for each picture taken.
For instructions, see “Setting the Time and Date” on page 39.
cCaution:
Never turn off the power while the memory card access light is on. This may cause data in the card to be lost or damaged, or render the memory card unusable.
Cocking the Shutter
Before taking each picture, push the shutter charge lever as far as it will go to the right to cook the shutter. The shutter charge lever can be left in the “ready” position when shooting a series of pictures.
