If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Shooting

The shutter release button works in two steps. You can press the shutter release button halfway down (half-press) and press it all the way down (full-press).

Quickly Shooting Pictures (Full-press)

Full-press the shutter release button for quick focusing, so as not to miss a shooting opportunity.

1 Press the power button to turn the camera on, and turn the mode dial to 5/K.

2 Compose your shot by looking at the LCD monitor or through the viewfinder, make sure the subject is centered, and gently press the shutter release button fully.

The still image you have taken appears momentarily on the LCD monitor and is recorded to the internal memory or SD memory card.

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full-press is likely to cause the camera to shake. Hold the camera firmly with both hands and shoot.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can set the time the still image you have taken appears on the LCD monitor. You can also set the image not to appear after it is taken. (GP.116)
