Taking pictures
RECORD MODE
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5" LCD monitor to
compose images. Taking images using the optical viewfinder will conserve bat-
tery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you only compose
images by using the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can help you accurately com-
pose pictures and examine all details, but using it also consumes more battery
power. However, always use the LCD monitor for macro shots to avoid parallax
effects.
Using the viewfinder
1. Open the lens cover.
2. Turn the mode dial to
mode.
3. Turn the camera on by pressing the button.
4. Compose the picture in the viewfinder.
5. Press the shutter button.
The LED indicator blinks red while the cam-
era is processing a captured image.
