Konica Minolta X50 - Manual (Page 24)

24 R ECORDING - BASIC OPERATION
Place the subject anywhere within the focus frame. Make
sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens (p. 26).
If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-
angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position, use the
LCD monitor to frame the subject.
BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Slide the mode switch to the digital-subject-program or
recording position. The operation for both modes is the
same. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only
active in the digital-subject-program mode.
Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the
focus and exposure. Automatic Digital Subject Selection will
choose the appropriate exposure mode, see the facing page.
The monitor focus signal is white and viewfinder indicator
lamp turns green to confirm focus lock. If the focus signal is
red or the indicator lamp blinks, the camera was unable to
locate the subject. Repeat the previous steps.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the
picture. The recorded image can be previewed by continuing
to hold down the shutter-release button after the image is
captured. The instant-playback function can also be used (p.
47).
The viewfinder indicator lamp turns red and blinks indicating
data is being written to the memory card. Never remove a
memory card while data is being transferred.
