Taking Pictures With the Viewfinder
You can capture an image as you would with any
point-and-shoot auto-focus camera: look through the optical
viewfinder and press the two-step shutter.
NOTE
You need to use the LCD screen when you make audio
recordings or use the panorama, macro, and digital zoom
features.
Remove the lens cap, then follow these steps:
1
Make sure you are at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from
your subject. (If you want to get closer, use macro mode
with the LCD screen, as described on page 4-4.)
2
Press the
POWER
button to turn on the camera and
turn the camera dial to . Wait until the photo capture
light stops flashing and remains a steady green.
3
Use the camera’s control buttons to make any changes
you want to image quality, the flash, or other basic
settings. (Instructions for changing basic settings start
on page 2-9.)
