Step 8—Take a photograph
To take a photograph, press the shutter-release button all the
way down.
The autofocus lamp will flash rapidly and an hourglass icon ( )
will be displayed in the color LCD monitor while the photo-
graph is being recorded to the compact flash memory card.
Once the process of recording the photograph to memory is
complete, the exposure count in the control panel and color
LCD monitor will go down by one.
The camera will then be ready to shoot another photograph.
Note: At some settings, the exposure count may not change
when a photograph has been recorded.
Step 9—Play the photograph back
To play a photograph back, turn the selector dial to PLAY.
An hourglass icon ( ) will be displayed in the color LCD moni-
tor while the camera reads a photograph from memory. The
most recently recorded photograph will then appear, together
with information on the date of recording, the image quality
setting, and the photograph’s filename and position in memory.
