Waking the Camera
The camera reverts to an inactive mode if no action is taken for 60
seconds. This state conserves energy to extend battery life.
To return the camera to its active state:
– Press and release the shutter button.
OR
Press the Feature or Select button.
Taking Pictures
The DC40 camera focuses on subjects between distances of four feet
and infinity. Pictures taken with subjects closer than four feet may be
blurry unless an accessory adapter lens is used.
1. Hold the camera so that the handstrap is on the right side and the top
of the camera is facing up.
2. Push the fingers of your right hand up through the handstrap, letting
the camera rest on your thumb.
Your index finger should rest on the shutter button.
