BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

œFast-moving subjects

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject.

Hints for taking pictures

Operational sound

œThe camera can be set so that a sound is heard, for example, when the power is turned on or off, or the shutter release button, SET button, or MENU button is pressed (see page 172).

Saving battery pack power

œWhen you take pictures without using the LCD monitor, you can slow down the rate of battery pack consumption (see page 75).

Immediate viewing of captured images

œAfter taking a picture, you can move the main switch to [Ô] to view the last image captured.

Don’t miss a photo chance

œIn a digital camera, there is a slight delay after the shutter release button is pressed before the image is actually captured. To counter this delay when taking sequential shots pictures, follow these steps.

1With the shutter release button pressed halfway, wait for the exact moment to take the picture.

œThe camera prepares to capture an image (precapture function).

2At the moment you want to take the picture, continue to gently press the shutter release button all the way.

œSequential shots shooting begins at the moment the shutter release button is fully pressed.

Quick exposure correction setting (EXPERT mode only)

œWhen a Shooting Setting Screen or Shooting Information Screen is not shown, press [d] or [c] on the arrow button to immediately access the exposure correction icon and exposure correction bar, and adjust the setting. (The icon will not appear in cases where the setting cannot be adjusted.) The exposure correction icon and exposure correction bar are canceled when the MENU button is pressed (see page 124).
