Taking Photos
This camera is designed to make the experience of taking photos simple and quick. It’s Auto mode feature will
optimise the internal settings so that in most situations, it can take photos with ease. This camera also has
additional modes and features that extend the capabilities for the more experienced user.

Lightly pressing the 3. Shutter button

position will start the automatic focus and adjustments to the
exposure level. When the camera has successfully completed
this automatic routine, the focus bracket will turn green. If the
automatic focus and exposure routine is not successful, the
bracket will turn red. If this occurs, simply release the shutter
and repeat this step until the bracket turns green. In some
situations, lighting and contrast may be insufficient for the
camera to successfully complete the auto focus and exposure
level routine. If this occurs, try better lighting.

photo. If you take the photo when the bracket is red, the focus
and exposure may not be correct.
