2.Hold the camera steadily with both hands as shown to avoid camera shake.

<Hints for Holding the Camera Steady>

Blurry pictures are most often caused by camera shake. Find the position and stance that is most comfortable for you and allows you to hold the camera steady.

Rest the right index finger lightly on the shutter release.

Take care that the flash and lens are not covered by your hand or fingers.

Press the shutter release button gently, without grasping the camera too tightly,

Use the left hand to support the camera firmly.

Hold your elbows close to your body and hold the camera steady.

3.Compose your picture while watching through the LCD

monitor.

Press the zoom buttons to select between telephoto and wide-angle lens settings, thus enlarging or reducing the size of your subject. Press the “T” button to enlarge the subject, and the “W” button to reduce the size of the subject.

<Use the Digital Zoom for Even Greater Enlargements>

Press the “T” button until the zoom function reaches the maximum telephoto setting; release your finger slightly, then press the button again. The digital zoom will further enlarge the subject in three steps (1.3x, 1.6x and 2x the maximum optical zoom value).

The magnification ratio is displayed on the screen.

Since electronic circuitry is used to increase the magnification ratio, the results cannot be seen in the optical viewfinder. Always be sure the LCD monitor is turned ON when using the digital zoom function.

Digital zoom cannot be used when the LCD monitor is not turned ON.

Digital zoom also cannot be used

when image quality is set to

[]. If pictures are taken with digital zoom when image quality is set to [S] or [F], actual image quality will be equivalent to [N].

4.Press the shutter release button to take the picture

1Lightly depress the shutter release button halfway (see page 30) to begin focusing; the focus mark will light and the electronic beep will be heard when focus is locked.

“Beep,” beep

2Press down further on the shutter release button to take the picture; recording of the image begins when the electronic beep sounds.

” “Beep

The LCD monitor will become momentarily dark, then the view finder image will appear again.

3The card access LED will flash while the camera is writing image data to the memory card.
