SHOOTING STILL IMAGES (AUTO MODE)

STILL IMAGE MODE

Set the Power switch to “q” 1and set the Mode

dial to “B” 2. To take pictures using the

viewfinder, press the “DISP” button 3to switch the

LCD monitor off. (Switching the LCD monitor off

conserves power.)

hPhotography range:Approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

●

For subjects closer than 60 cm (2.0 ft.), use Macro photography

(➡P.43).

●

Note that you cannot switch the LCD monitor off in Macro

mode.

●

If a “å”, “©”, “∆” or

“˙” message appears, see P.95.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the

camera with both hands. Position the thumb of your

right hand so that it is handy for using the zoom.

●

The image will be blurred if the camera moves when taking

the picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera

shake, particularly for shots in dark locations when the flash

is set to Suppressed Flash mode.

●

There may be some unevenness in the brightness at the

lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not

indicate a fault. This does not affect the photographed image.

Take care to hold the camera so that your fingers

or the strap do not cover the lens, flash AF assist

illuminator or flash control sensor. If the lens, flash

or flash control sensor is obscured by your fingers

or the camera strap, you may not be able to obtain

the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.

●

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as

described on P.92.

●

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when it is

snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to the flash

reflecting off the dust particles or snowflakes. Try taking the

shot using Suppressed Flash mode.

4If you want to zoom in on your subject, press “T”

(telephoto) button. To widen the angle of your shot,

press “W” (wide-angle) button. When you do this,

the “zoom bar” is displayed on the screen.

camera equivalent)

Approx. 35 mm-105 mm

Zooming pauses briefly when it switches between optical

zoom and digital zoom (➡P.24). Press the same zoom button

again to switch zoom modes.

Zoom bar

Using the LCD monitor or viewfinder, position the

subject at or near the center of the image.

When you are using the viewfinder to take a picture

at a distance of 0.6 m to 1.5 m (2.0 ft. to 4.9 ft.), only

the shaded area in the figure is photographed.

●

If the zoom is set to wide-angle, the end of the lens may be

visible in the viewfinder. This is normal and is not recorded in

the shot.

●

If the camera will not focus successfully on the subject, set

the focus mode to “AF (CENTER)” and use AF/AE lock to

take the shot (➡P.56).

●

The image shown on the LCD monitor before you take the

shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc. from the image

actually recorded. If necessary, play back the recorded image

to check it (➡P.25).

●

To frame your shot precisely, you should take the picture

using the LCD monitor.

●

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject

clearly on the LCD monitor. (Such as in sunny weather

outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes.) In such

situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.

When you press the shutter button down halfway,

the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses

on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the

LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets

the shutter speed and aperture. (the viewfinder

lamp (green) changes from blinking to steady)

If you press the shutter button down fully without

releasing it, the camera makes a clicking noise and

takes the picture. The camera then records the

photographed image.

●

There is a slight delay between the shutter button being

pressed and the shot being taken. If necessary, playback the

shot to check the image.

●

If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion, the

shot is taken without the AF frame changing.

●

When you take the shot, the viewfinder lamp lights orange

(shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then changes to

green to indicate that the next picture can be taken.

●

The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging.

The LCD monitor may go dark briefly. This is normal and

does not indicate a fault.

●

See P.95, 96 for information on the warning displays.

●

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “{”

appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

●

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image

on the LCD monitor freezes briefly. However, this is not the

recorded image.

●

If “{” is displayed on the screen (e.g. the shot is too dark

for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from

your subject to take the picture.
