The focus frame on the LCD monitor will light green when the camera is in focus.

Press the shutter release button fully.

The picture is taken.

Total recording time will be longer when the picture is taken at slower shutter speed (approximately 1/4 second or slower), because the noise reduction function is activated to reduce noise.

The shutter speed becomes slower when taking pictures of dark scenes. The camera shake is likely to occur under such condition. The followings are good ways to prevent camera shake. (1p.54, 102)

-Activate the Shake Reduction function.

-Set Shake Reduction to Off and secure the camera on a tripod or other stable object.
