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. You must take pictures
with the LCD screen when you want to use the macro or
digital zoom features or when you want to make audio
recordings to go with your photos. Before you begin to take
pictures, you can use the SETUP menu to turn on audio
recording with the Confirmation setting (see page 2-14).
To take pictures with the LCD screen:
1
Make sure you are at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from
your subject. (To get closer, use macro mode as
described on page 4-4.)
NOTE
See Chapter 3 to take special shots (including video clips and
time lapse/interval shots), see Chapter 4 for framing,
focusing, and zooming shots (including panorama stitching),
or see Chapter 5 for color and exposure settings.
2
Remove the lens cap and press the
POWER
button.
3
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.
This screen illustrates what you see if your camera is set
to Program user mode.
