TAKING PHOTOS

Now let's take a picture

To switch on the camera, press the POWER button ( ).

ADVANCED

Select the desired shot mode (STILL IMAGE / MACRO SHOT / MOVIE CLIP ) according to the image range or subject by using the mode dial ( ) on the top of the camera. Change the camera functions by using the LCD monitor and select the appropriate settings (image quality, image size etc.). Refer to pages 30~73 for information on camera setting. Decide the image composition that you want to achieve by using the optical viewfinder or the LCD monitor. When taking images, squeeze the shutter button gently to avoid camera shake. Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates the autofocus and checks the condition of the flash. Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates the autofocus. After selecting the focus, the Green lamp will light up. To prevent camera shake, press the Shutter button gently as the autofocus might be changed by camera shake. When the green lamp illuminate, you can take a picture and store the relevant data for shot.
Select MACRO SHOT mode when the subject is between 0.2m ~ 0.8m from the camera. Refer to page 26 for information on MACRO SHOT. If you do not select the correct shot mode appropriate to the distance from the subject to the camera, you will not be able to obtain a clear shot of the subject. Avoid obstructing the Flash control sensor when you take an image. An image can be spoiled when a finger, hair or camera strap is in front of the Flash control sensor. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. We recommend using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life. If you take an image in a dark place a " LOW LUMINANCE" message will display on the LCD monitor. In addition, it may cause the camera to fix the focus as listed below. Normal shot mode : 2.0M Macro shot mode : 0.5M In this case, increase the lighting value or take an image in a bright place.
If there is no card, [NO CARD] message will show in the LCD monitor. If there is insufficient memory available, the following message is displayed and the camera will not operate.

CARD FULL

To optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the CF CARD or delete unnecessary images stored on the CF CARD.
There are two LED lamps (one green, one red) positioned next to the viewfinder. If the camera is in focus when you press the shutter button halfway, the green LED will light up and you can take an image. If the red lamp lights up, the flash can fire. If the red lamp blinks, the flash is being charged. When an image is being stored onto the CF CARD, the green lamp blinks slowly. When the image data has been stored, the green LED light will go out. After the green LED light has gone out, you can resume taking images.

Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected. When photographing a subject that has little contrast. If the subject is highly reflective or shiny. If the subject is moving at high speed. When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or flagpole). When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright. Backlight compensated shot When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of backlight. In backlight conditions, please use the exposure compensation (refer to page 46). Alternatively, use SPOT metering function (refer to page 48) and the exposure will be adjusted accordingly.
