2 Taking Pictures

The camera is ready to take pictures when you turn it on—even if you are in Review, Share, or Setup. (In Video mode, the camera captures video.) Before you take a picture, make sure the storage location is set the way you want it (see page 10).

When the ready light blinks green, the picture is being saved; you can still take pictures. If the ready light is red, wait until it turns green.
