BASIC RECORDING

SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY

Turn the exposure dial to the auto or program (P) position. The camera controls are automatic.

Auto acts like the program mode, except that many of the recording functions are reset each time it is selected, see page 41 for more information. Not all function are available in auto recording such as the color mode and Digital Effects Control. The default camera sensitivity (p. 54) is auto for auto recording and ISO 100 for program.

HANDLING THE CAMERA

Grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily. The use of a tripod or monopod is recommended when using the camera in low-light situations or when using telephoto lenses.
