Card.
When you are finished reviewing your pictures:

halfway.

Erasing Pictures

the photos you want, delete the rest, and reuse empty

picture that you just took.

Card in one operation, except for pictures you have
protected.

TIP
TAKING PICTURES
There are two ways to compose your subject: using the
monitor or with the viewfinder. Depending upon the shooting
situation, there may be advantages to each method. Please
refer to the printed Basic Manual for more information.
a.
Taking a Picture with the Monitor

• Frame your subject using the monitor.
Icons representing camera settings appear on the
monitor, telling you important information such as the
Flash and record modes, battery life, and the number of
frames remaining.
• Press the shutter button halfway. The green lamp will light
steadily when the focus and exposure are set.
• Press the shutter button completely to take the picture. A
short beep confirms your picture has been taken.

target mark in the viewfinder.

properly set when the green lamp in the viewfinder lights

A short beep confirms your picture has been taken.
c.
Zooming
This Digital Camera features a zoom lens, allowing you
to get closer to action, or capture wide-angle shots and
get everything into the picture.
• Push the zoom button W to zoom out and get everything
into the picture.
• Push the zoom button T to choose telephoto shooting and
get closer to the action.
d.
Flash Modes
This Digital Camera features multiple flash modes.
Please note that not all flash modes are available
depending on the shooting mode selected.
With the shutter button depressed halfway, the flash is
ready to fire when the indicator in the monitor or the
orange lamp next to the viewfinder lights. When the
orange lamp is blinking, the flash is charging.
e.
Number of Storable Pictures
Your Digital Camera can handle xD-Picture Cards from
16 MB to 256 MB. The number of storable pictures
depends on the image quality selected. The default
quality mode is HQ mode. This mode allows you to
capture high quality images with medium file sizes. The
HQ mode is suitable for most shooting situations.
See the Reference Manual for complete descriptions of
each recording mode and the storable frame capacity for
the various resolution modes and xD-Picture Card
capacities.
:To find out how many frames you have left, turn on the monitor
and look for the number in the lower right corner. Remember,
you can always delete unwanted pictures to make room for
more. (See Step 5.)
