Slide the mode switch to the digital-subject-program or recording position. The operation for both modes is the same. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only active in the digital-subject -program mode.

Place the subject anywhere within the focus frame. Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens (p. 26). For very close subjects, use the Super Macro function (p. 30).

Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Automatic Digital Subject Selection will choose the appropriate exposure mode, see the facing page.

The monitor focus signal is white and the focus frame turns red to confirm focus lock. If the focus signal is red, the camera was unable to locate the subject. Repeat the previous steps.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the pic- ture. The recorded image can be previewed by continuing to hold down the shutter-release button after the image is captured. The instant-playback function can also be used (p. 47).

Program AE (no indicators)PortraitSports action

Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection chooses between program AE and one of four digital subject programs. The digital subject programs optimize camera settings for various conditions and subjects. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only available in the digital-subject-program mode. For information on individual subject programs, see page 30.

A row of gray indicators at the top on the monitor display indicate Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is active.

Press the shutter-release button partway down; the AF system locates the subject and the Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection chooses a subject program. If no indicators are dis- played, programmed AE is active. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

Hold the camera steadily when the sunset subject program is selected as exposures can be long.

In the digital-subject-program mode, one of seven digital subject programs can be selected manually by using the left and right keys of the controller before taking a picture. See page 30.

The indicator lamp turns red and blinks indicating data is being written to the memory card or internal memory. Never remove or insert a memory card while data is being transferred.
