CAUTION
If you set the camera down while the light is still flashing, make
sure you handle it carefully. The camera may lose your image if
you set it down too hard.
Saved images remain on the memory card even when you
turn off the camera or remove the memory card or batteries.
Taking Pictures With the LCD Screen
The LCD screen lets you see a live preview of what the
camera’s lens sees at any moment. Although you can use this
setting anytime, you always choose it when you want to use
the macro, panorama, or digital zoom features, or when you
want to make audio recordings to go with your photos.
NOTE
Before you begin to take pictures, you can use the SETUP menu
to turn on audio recording with the Confirmation setting. See
page 2-17 for details.
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
as described on page 4-4.)
2
Turn the camera dial to to see the View menu. Wait
until the camera photo capture light stops flashing and
remains a steady green.
You see a preview of your picture on the LCD screen,
with the image quality and flash settings in the top left
corner of the screen.
