QUICK GUIDE
You will need the following items:
– Camera
– Battery (A)
– Memory card (not supplied)
– Battery charger (B)
PRESETS
1. Insert the battery (A) into the charger (see p. 100)
2. Connect the charger (B) to the mains to charge the
battery (see p. 100)
3. Set the main switch (1.18) to
OFF
(see p. 106).
4. Insert the charged battery into the camera
(see p. 102).
5. Insert a memory card (see p. 103).
6. Set the main switch (1.18) to
S
(see p. 106).
7. Set the desired language (see p. 112).
8. Format the memory card (see p. 147).
Notes:
• This is generally only required if the card has not been
factory-formatted
• Simple formatting does not cause the data on the
card to be irretrievably lost. Only the directory is
deleted, which means that the existing files are no
longer directly accessible. The data can be accessed
again using appropriate software. Only the data that
is then overwritten by saving new data is actually
permanently deleted. You should nevertheless
make a habit of transferring all your pictures onto a
secure bulk storage medium, e.g. the hard drive on
your computer, as soon as possible (see p. 148 for
details).
9. Set the date and time (see p. 112/113).
TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
10. Attach the desired lens to the camera (see p. 105).
11. Set the shutter speed dial (1.17) to
A
to
automatically control the shutter speed (see p. 108).
12. With the viewfinder to the eye, set the focus using
the distance setting ring on the lens (see p. 122).
13. Press the shutter release button (1.19) as far as the
first pressure point to activate the camera exposure
metering.
14. If necessary, correct the exposure using the
aperture setting ring on the lens (1.14) (see p. 124).
15. Press the shutter release button all the way down to
take the picture.
