RECORD MODE
Taking pictures
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.6" LCD
monitor to compose images. Taking images using the optical viewfinder will con-
serve battery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you only
compose images by using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor you can
compose images more accurately, but at the cost of battery consumption.
Always use the image LCD for macro shots, to avoid parallax error. The LCD
image display must be turned on when Digital Zoom is used.
Using the viewfinder
1. Open the lens cover.
2. Turn the mode dial to the mode.
3. Turn the camera on by pressing the button.
4. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.
5. Check “camera-ready” light is green.
6. Press and hold the shutter button until camera
takes picture.
7. The picture you took will appear on the LCD display for 3 seconds with the
message, “Delete this?” If you press the shutter button when “Delete this?”
message is displayed, the pictur
e will be deleted!
Using the LCD monitor
• Replace batteries if camera-ready light takes more than 15 seconds to
recycle (after taking a picture).
• The camera-ready light blinks green while camera is processing a
captured image
