24EN

BASICOPERATION

Viewfinder Shutter Button

This camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder.

Normal Shooting

To focus, point the camera so that the subject appears within the finder, and then press the shutter button.

Macro Shooting

When shooting close-up, make sure the subject being photographed is within the frame inside the finder (indicated with diagonal lines).

Not pressed

Half-press

Full-press

NOTES:

●In close-up (macro) shooting, the area that is actually photographed will be slightly below the area that can be seen in the viewfinder. The closer the camera is the subject, the greater that this displacement is.

●It is recommended to view the subject with the LCD screen for an important shooting.

The camera’s Shutter button is a two-step button. Pressing it halfway (to the first step) causes the photo standby lamp (green) to flash while the camera focuses automatically.

Once the camera is focused, the photo standby lamp (green) lights steadily. Pressing the Shutter button halfway (to the first step) is called a “half- press.“ Pressing the button from the half-press position to the full-press position causes the camera to take a picture.

NOTES:

●Suddenly pressing the Shutter button with your finger or pressing too strongly can result in a picture that is at an angle or which is blurry. Press the button smoothly from the half-press position to the full-press position when taking pictures.

●If you have pressed the Shutter button halfway and then release it, the camera will perform the autofocus operation again the next time that you press the Shutter button halfway.

●If you press the Shutter button all the way instead of halfway, a picture can be taken after focusing automatically.
