2 Taking Pictures
The camera is always ready to take pictures—even if you are in Review, Share,
or Setup. (In Video mode, the camera captures video.)
Take a Picture
1 Turn the Mode dial to the mode you want to
use. See page 18 for a description of the
picture-taking modes.
The EVF or LCD screen displays a mode
description and a live view.
2 Use the EVF or LCD screen to frame your
subject. (Press the EVF/LCD button to
switch to the other screen. See page 7.)
3 Press the Shutter button half-way to set
the auto-focus and auto-exposure.
The AF/AE indicator is displayed. If focus
and/or exposure fails, recompose the shot
and try again.
4 Continue pressing the Shutter button
completely down to take the picture.
NOTE: Open the flip-up flash unit to use flash
(see page 26).
