How to use the Auto mode ( )
If the auto focus frame turns to red when you press the shut-
ter button down half way, it means that the camera cannot
focus on the subject. Should this be the case, the camera is
unable to capture an image clearly.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the fl ash when you capture an
image.
1.
Insert the batteries (p.14). Insert the
batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the memory card (p.14).
As this camera has a 31MB internal
memory, you do not need to insert
the memory card. If the memory
card is not inserted, an image will be
stored in the internal memory. If the memory card is inserted,
an image will be stored on the memory card.
3. Close the battery chamber cover.
4. Press the power button to turn on the camera.
5. Select the Auto mode by using the mode dial.
6. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image
by using the LCD monitor.
7. Press the shutter button to capture an image.
Select this mode for quick and easy picture taking with minimal
user interaction.
