Taking a picture
1With the camera on, frame your subject in the viewfinder.
2Press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the camera to adjust the focus and exposure.
3When you see the steady green light to the right of the viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take the picture. Wait for the beeps that indicate your picture has been taken, and then release the SHUTTER button.
A red light appears next to the viewfinder to indicate that the image is being processed. After the red light turns off, the CF card access LED turns on to indicate that the image is copying to the CF memory card. You can take another picture when the CF card access indicator light turns off.
Note | The Instant Review feature allows you to review an |
| image immediately after you take a picture. While |
| the image is shown on the image display, you can |
| choose to save or delete it. For more information, |
| see “Setting Instant Review” on page 25. |
