TAKING PICTURES USING THE VIEWFINDER
1 Slide the lens barrier open until it clicks.

Position the subject in the viewfinder using the Target mark.
To take pictures at a distance of less than 60cm (2ft.), see “Macro mode”
(
p.13).
3
Press the Shutter button halfway.
The green lamp next to the viewfinder
lights.
The exposure is locked while the Shutter
button is pressed halfway.
4
Press the Shutter button fully.
The picture is taken.
TAKING PICTURES USING THE MONITOR
1 Open the lens barrier.
2 Press the button.
The monitor will turn on. Press the button again to turn the monitor off.
3 Compose the picture by looking at the subject in the monitor.
4 Take the picture in the same way as you would when using the
viewfinder.
Note • If the green lamp blinks when the Shutter button is pressed halfway, the flash
is not fully charged. The green lamp blinks while the camera is recording the
picture taken. Wait for 2 to 40 seconds untill the green lamp stops blinking.
• When the memory gauge is full, no more images can be taken. Wait a few
seconds until the memory gauge goes off before taking any more pictures.
• When a picture is taken in bright light, such as sunlight, vertical lines may
appear on the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
• The monitor is for checking the composition only. Check the hand jitter, focus
and exposure accuracy afterwards by displaying the image on a PC.
• It will take longer to record a picture when the monitor is used.
