Getting Started

Now that you are familiar with the layout of your camera, you are ready to start taking photos and movies.

Taking your First Photo

Taking a photo with the camera is very simple.

1.Turn the camera on and turn the Mode Dial to Auto mode.

2.Frame the shot on the LCD screen and press the Shutter button halfway. The camera automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. The focus bracket turns green when ready.

3.Press fully and hold the Shutter button to capture the image.

When a camera steady warning icon appears, hold the camera as still as pos- sible, as a longer exposure time (more than 1/30 second) is required.

Anti-Shake Function

This function is only available in Auto capture

mode. Press the / button to enable the Anti- Shake function, and press again to disable it. An

Anti-Shakeicon displays on the LCD screen when the function is activated.

Using Quick Review

To delete a photo when using Quick Review:

1.Press the Left/Quick Review navigation button.

2.Press the / button, a confirmation screen is displayed. Select This Image to delete the photo or Cancel to keep it.

3.Press OK to confirm your selection.

You can also delete photos from the Playback menu. See “Deleting Photos/Videos/ Audios” on page 29 for more detailed information.

Using Macro Mode

Macro mode is designed for close-up photography and can capture all detail even when your subject is very close to the camera. Turn the Mode Dial to Macro

mode. The Macro icon displays on the LCD screen.
