Using Preview mode

You can also use the image display to preview a picture and show a more accurate view of what your picture will look like. This is useful for close-up pictures and for instances in which framing your subject precisely is important.

To take a picture by using the image display:

1Press the Display button to activate Preview mode.

2Frame your subject in the image display, and then press the Shutter button.

In addition to taking pictures and recording video clips, you can zoom in on your subject, adjust the flash setting, determine how many more pictures can be taken, or increase the quality of your image—all from within Preview mode.

NOTE Using the image display consumes a large amount of battery power.

Using the self-timer

To use the self-timer:

1Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.

2Frame your subject in the viewfinder or image display.

3Press the button once. The self-timer icon appears on the image display.

4Press the Shutter button all the way down, and then release it. The Video/self-timer light and viewfinder light blink for 10 seconds before the picture is taken.
