RECORDING

Using the Shutter Button

The following steps describe how to operate the shutter but-

ton so that Auto Focus has a chance to focus the image.

Press the shutter button about half way.

• The Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the im-

age.

Press the shutter button as far as it will go to

record the image.

REC PLAY

Basic Recording Operation

The following describes the basic operation for recording

images.

Slide the Function

Switch to REC.

• The REC position selects the Record Mode, while

PLAY selects the Playback Mode.

Rotate the dial so its

(normal recording)

setting is aligned with

the dot on the top of the

camera.

• You can perform step 2 before step 1, if you want.

Slide the POWER Switch

in the direction indicated

by the arrow.

RECORDING

• The POWER Switch returns to its original position

when you release it.

• Turning on power enters the normal Recording Mode.

• If power turns off, slide the POWER Switch again to

turn it back on.

After composing the image on the monitor

screen, press the shutter button about half

way and hold it there.

• The camera’s Auto Focus feature automatically fo-

cuses the image.

• The operation indicator lights green and the Auto Fo-

cus Frame in the monitor screen turns green when the

Auto Focus operation is complete.

• Take care to avoid blocking the lens, distance sensor

or light sensor with your fingers.

IMPORTANT!

Auto Focus tends not to work well with the following

types of subjects.

• Solid color walls or objects with little contrast

• Strongly backlit objects

• Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects

• Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating pat-

terns

• Multiple images that are varying distances from the

camera

• Subjects in poorly lit areas

• Closeup images recorded using digital zoom

These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus

properly, which is indicated by the operation indicator and

the Auto Focus Frame inside the monitor screen remaining

red. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for fo-

cusing (page 49).

• Carefully press the shutter button, taking care not to

move the camera as you do.

NO!

RECORDING

After confirming that the Auto Focus operation

is complete (operation indicator is green),

press the shutter button all the way down to

record the image.

• Pressing the shutter button releases the shutter, even

if Auto Focus was unsuccessful and the image is out

of focus.

• Images you record are stored in the CAMERA folder.

See page 84 for information about how you can

change to another folder to store images.

• Note that you can also select a memory card folder into

which recorded images should be placed (page 84).

CAUTION

• Never open the battery compartment cover, discon-

nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the

adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indi-

cator is flashing green. Doing so will not only make

storage of the current image impossible, it can also

corrupt other image data already stored in camera

memory.

• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency

that cannot be detected by the human eye. When us-

ing the camera indoors under such lighting, you may

experience some brightness or color problems with

recorded images.

RECORDING

Using Focus Lock

Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on the object

that is inside the Auto Focus Frame. Focus lock is a tech-

nique that lets you lock the focus on a subject and then move

the camera so the Auto Focus Frame is pointed at another

subject when you record. This keeps the original subject in

focus, even though a different object is within the Auto Focus

Frame.

• The Auto Focus Frame is shown on the monitor screen

only while the shutter button is being held half way down.

• Locking the focus also locks the exposure setting.

Align the Auto Focus

Frame with the subject

you want to lock on and

press the shutter button

half way down.

• The Auto Focus frame turns

green when the image is in

focus.

While keeping the shut-

ter button depressed

half way, move the cam-

era and compose the im-

age as you want.

Press the shutter button all the way down to

record the image.
