Place the subject in the wide focus frame. If using a zoom lens, rotate the zooming ring to frame the subject.

Press the shutter release button partway down to activate the autofocus and exposure systems (1). The viewfinder focus signal (p. 22) confirms focus and the spot or local focus area is briefly illuminated to indicate the point of focus. If the focus signal blinks, repeat the procedure.

If the flash is required for the exposure, it raises automatically and the flash indicator appears in the viewfinder (p. 25). In low-light conditions, the flash acts as an AF illuminator (p. 70).

The shutter speed and aperture used for the exposure are displayed in the viewfinder and on the data panel.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture (2). When taking a picture, press the shutter- release button gently so not the shake the camera during the exposure.
