BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus
and exposure.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear on the live
image to indicate the point of focus.
• The focus signals (p. 27 ) on the monitor will confirm the focus. If the
focus signal is red, the camera was unable to focus on the subject.
Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white.
• The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to black
indicating the exposure is locked.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the
picture.
• The access lamp will glow indicating image data is being written to the
CompactFlash card. Never remove a memory card while data is being
transferred.
With the mode dial set to auto recording, the camera will be on and the LCD
monitor will activate.
Place the subject within the focus frame.
• The focus-lock function (p. 26) can be used with off-center subjects.
• The subject must be within the focus range of the lens: 0.5m - ∞
(wide-angle position), 0.9m - ∞ (telephoto position). For subjects
closer than 0.6m, use the macro function (p. 28).
• If the subject is closer than 1m at the wide-angle lens position or 3m
at the telephoto lens position, use the LCD monitor to frame the
subject.
