2Taking 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 to your preference
(see page 11).
Auto Mode

description. To interrupt the description,

2Use the viewfinder or camera screen to
frame your subject. (To turn Liveview on or
off, press the OK button.)
3Press the Shutter button half-way and
hold. (This sets the exposure and focus so
you get the best possible picture.)
4When the Ready light glows green, press the Shutter button the rest of
the way down to take the picture.
5When 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.
