2) Shoot.

Press the shutter button all the way down.

As the camera shoots, a shutter sound is

played, and in low-light conditions when you

have raised the flash, it fires automatically.

Keep the camera still until the shutter

sound ends.

After displaying your shot, the camera will

revert to the shooting screen.

Shooting Movies
1) Start shooting.

Press the movie button. The camera beeps

once as recording begins, and [ Rec] is

displayed with the elapsed time (1).

Black bars are displayed on the top and

bottom edges of the screen, and the

subject is slightly enlarged. The black

bars indicate image areas not recorded.

Frames displayed around any detected

faces indicate that they are in focus.

Once recording begins, take your finger

off the movie button.

2) Resize the subject and recompose

the shot as needed.

To resize the subject, repeat the

operations in step 3.

However, note that the sound of camera

operations will be recorded. Note that

movies shot at zoom factors shown in

blue will look grainy.

When you recompose shots, the

focus, brightness, and colors will be

automatically adjusted.
