Basic Photography Step 1 - Select P Mode This section details the basic steps involved in taking pictures in P (auto) mode.

Step 1 - Select P Mode Number of Exposures Remaining If the number of exposures remaining is zero, the message “OUT OF MEMORY” will be displayed in the monitor.

Step 2 - Frame the Picture Digital Zoom In digital zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center portion of the picture to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
Step 3 - Focus and Shoot 1 Red (!) lamp Focus Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. In P mode, the camera will automatically focus on the subject at the center of the frame. Focus and exposure will lock while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

Caring for Your Camera Cleaning Lens One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower.
Caring for Your Camera Storage Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate.
