Starting the recording mode
How to use the PROGRAM mode
Selecting the program mode will configure the camera with optimal 
settings. You can still manually configure all functions except the aperture 
value and shutter speed. 
1. Select the PROGRAM mode by rotating the
mode dial.
2. Press the horizontal smart button to configure
advanced functions such as image size (p.33), 
quality (p.38), metering (p.36) and shooting 
mode (p.36).
How to use the AUTO mode
Please select this mode for quick and easy picture taking with minimal user 
interaction.
1. Insert the battery (p.15) taking note of the correct
polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the memory card (p.15). As this camera
has a 20MB internal memory, it is not essential to 
insert the memory card. If the memory card is not 
inserted, an image will be stored in the internal 
memory. If the memory card is inserted, an 
image will be stored on the memory card.
 3. Close the battery chamber cover. 
 4. Press the power button to turn on the camera. 
(If the date / time that is displayed on the LCD 
monitor is incorrect, reset the date / time before 
taking a picture.)
 5. Select the AUTO mode by rotating the mode dial. 
 6. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by using the 
LCD monitor.
7. Press the shutter button to capture an image.
● If the Auto focus area turns to red when you press the shutter button
down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus on the subject. 
Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture an image 
clearly. 
● Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
