Turn the mode dial to the recording position (1). Use the zoom- ing ring to frame the subject (2). The effect of the zoom is imme- diately displayed in the viewfinder (EVF) and LCD monitor.

Place the subject within the focus frame.

•For off-center subjects use the focus-lock function (p. 28).

•Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens: 0.5m (1.6ft) – ∞. For subjects closer than 0.5m, use the macro function (p. 47).

Press the shutter-release button partway down (3) to lock the focus and exposure.

•The focus signals (p. 29) on the monitors will confirm that the image is in focus. If the focus signal is red, the camera was unable to focus on the subject. Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white.

•When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear in the live image to indicate the point of focus.

•The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to black indicating the exposure is locked.

•The live image may freeze for an instant as the AF system determines focus.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down (4) to take the picture.

The access lamp will glow indicating the image data is being written to the memory card. Never remove a card while data is being transferred.
