Taking Photos
1.Slide open the viewfinder and move the Photo/Voice selector to Photo position.
2.Compose your shot using the viewfinder. (The optimal distance between the camera and the subject is approximately 5 feet).
3.Hold the camera steady and press the shutter button to take photos.
4.The camera will beep when a photo is taken.
If the camera fails to beep or if a “0” appears on the LCD display this is an indication that the memory is full in which event no further photos can be taken until the existing photos have been downloaded from the memory of the camera.
Note: The LCD display indicates how many photos may still be taken at the current resolution and compression. In “Lr” resolution and “CP” compression 243 images may be taken. However the LCD counter only displays up to 99. It will continue to display 99 until less than 99 images may still be taken.
