AUTO-RECORDING MODE –

BASIC OPERATION

This section covers the basic operation of this camera. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the operations in this section before moving on to the other sections in the manual.

The sophisticated technology employed in the auto-recording mode frees the photographer from complicated camera settings. Although automated, the camera’s operation can be changed to meet various conditions as well as to suit personal shooting preferences.

Handling the camera

While using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with your left. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily.

When taking vertical pictures, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens with the grip to the top. Take care not to cover the lens with your fingers or the strap.

Power / Access lamp

The power / access lamp turns green and glows steadily when the camera is on. The lamp will turn red and blink when data is being transferred between the camera and memory card; never remove the card during this period.

If the lens is hindered while extending, the green lamp may blink for a three-minute period. Turn the camera off and on to initialize the lens.
