Pressing the Shutter Button

Taking pictures is a snap with your camera. The SHUTTER button on your camera locks in the auto focus and takes the picture.

  1. Set the Mode dial to Capture.

  2. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.

  3. Center the subject using the guide marks in the viewfinder, or turn on Preview and use the LCD to frame your subject.

  4. Press the SHUTTER button half-way down to lock in the camera auto focus.

    The camera beeps twice and the green ready light comes on when the camera is set to take a picture.

    If the green ready light next to the viewfinder blinks, then the auto focus is not focused on the subject. Release the SHUTTER button and recompose your picture. Press the SHUTTER button half-way down again to relock the auto focus on the subject.

    If the red flash indicator light next to the viewfinder blinks, then the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the flash to charge before taking the picture.

  5. Press the SHUTTER button completely down to take the picture.

    The camera beeps again to confirm that a picture was taken and the camera memory card light blinks as the picture is stored on the card.
