TakingYour First Photograph

This section outlines the basic steps involved in taking a photograph in A-REC mode.

Step 1—Turn the mode dial to A-REC

To enter automatic recording mode, turn the selector dial to A-REC. After a short pause while the camera initializes, current settings will be displayed in the LCD monitor and the control panel.

AUTO

NORMAL

1/125 F3.8

Sleep mode

The LCD monitor turns off automatically if no operations are performed for a certain period of time (the length of time before the camera enters sleep mode can be set using the AUTO OFF item in the setup menu; see “The Camera Menus: The A-REC Menu,” below). To turn the monitor on again, half-press the shutter-release button.

Step 2—Check the number of exposures remaining

The control panel and LCD monitor show the number of expo- sures remaining at the current image quality setting.

1/125 F3.8 Number of exposures remaining

When this number reaches zero, you will need to insert a new memory card or delete items already in memory before you will be able to take more photographs. It may be possible to record more photographs at a different image quality setting.

The MONITOR button

The MONITOR button controls the LCD monitor. Press the MONITOR button once to hide settings, a second time to turn the monitor off, and a third time to turn the monitor on with settings showing.
