Taking a picture

You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, no matter what is showing on the Display. To take a picture:

zFrame your subject in the viewfinder, and then press the Shutter button. The camera adjusts exposure, and then takes the picture.

If the viewfinder light is blinking, you must wait before taking a picture. This means that the camera is initializing, the flash is charging, or another situation may exist. For troubleshooting information, refer to Chapter 5.

NOTE The camera has two modes of operation, Preview mode and Playback mode. When you turn the camera on, it is in Preview mode, which is the default mode of the camera. Preview mode is discussed later in this chapter, and Playback mode is discussed in Chapter 3, Reviewing Your Images.

Using Instant Review

After you take a picture, the Display automatically shows the

image with the Quality icon visible. You can delete the image by using the left Arrow button.
