Basic Photography and Playback
This section describes how to take
photographs in i and j modes. i and j are
automatic “point-and-shoot” modes in which
the majority of settings are controlled by the
camera in response to shooting conditions; the
only difference between the two is that the
flash will not fire in j mode.
1 Rotate the mode dial to i
or j.
Photographs can be framed in the
viewfinder or in the monitor (live
view). To start live view, rotate the live
view switch.
