Whichever you choose, you can take pictures simply by pressing the shutter
button.
When you take pictures, the images are recorded on the SmartMedia card
in the camera.
TAKING PICTURES USING THE VIEWFINDER

Open the lens barrier.
Slide the lens barrier open until it
clicks.

Determine the image
composition by positioning
the AF target mark over the
subject in the viewfinder.

halfway.

The green lamp on the right of the
viewfinder lights up. The exposure
and focus are locked while the shutter button is pressed halfway. You
will hear an operation sound, but no picture is being taken.
If the green lamp blinks, focus may be incorrect. Release your finger
from the shutter button, hold the camera securely and half-press the
button again. See “Focus lock” ( p.23).
