Taking Pictures (Cont’d)

Taking Pictures using the LCD Monitor

- You can take a picture while looking at the LCD monitor, instead of through the

viewfinder.

- Using the LCD monitor consumes battery power at a high rate, so it is recom-

mended to have a spare charged battery on hand (sold separately, Lithium-ion

Battery NP-500), or to use the AC adapter (sold separately, AC-8U/AC-8E/AC-

8GB; see P.11 for details).

1. Once the power supply is turned on

by opening the lens cover, the LCD

monitor will come on, and a live

image (the image taken though the

lens) will be projected.

• Date and time displayed will go off in

approx. 5 seconds.

2. While looking at the LCD monitor,

compose and take your photo.

• The shooting procedures are the same as

“Taking a picture using the viewfinder”

(pp.31-32).

• Focus value and shutter speed will be dis-

played on the live image by half depressing

the shutter button on through image.

• When the writing process to the card is

completed, the live image will reappear.
