Getting Started
Now that you are familiar with the layout of your camera, you are ready to start
taking photos and movies.
Taking your First Photo
Taking a photo with the camera is very simple.
1. Turn the camera on and turn the Mode Dial to Auto
mode.
2. Frame the shot on the LCD screen and press the Shutter button halfway. The
camera automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. The focus bracket turns
green when ready.
3. Press fully and hold the Shutter button to capture the image.
When a camera steady warning icon appears, hold the camera as still as pos-
sible, as a longer exposure time (more than 1/30 second) is required.
Anti-Shake Function
This function is only available in Auto capture
mode. Press the / button to enable the Anti-
Shake function, and press again to disable it. An
Anti-Shake icon
displays on the LCD screen
when the function is activated.
Using Quick Review
To delete a photo when using Quick Review:
1. Press the Left/Quick Review navigation button.
2. Press the / button, a confirmation screen is displayed.
Select This Image to delete the photo or Cancel to keep it.
3. Press OK to confirm your selection.
You can also delete photos from the Playback menu. See “Deleting Photos/Videos/
Audios” on page 29 for more detailed information.
Using Macro Mode
Macro mode is designed for close-up photography and can capture all detail even
when your subject is very close to the camera. Turn the Mode Dial to Macro
mode. The Macro icon displays on the LCD screen.
