Quick Start Guide

Basic Shooting and Playback Operations

3 Press the shutter-release button

halfway.

• When the subject is in focus, the focus

area or focus indicator is displayed in

green.

• When you are using digital zoom, the

camera focuses in the center of the

frame and the focus area is not

displayed.

• If the focus area or focus indicator

flashes, the camera is unable to focus.

Modify the composition and try pressing

the shutter-release button halfway

again.

4 Without lifting your finger, press

the shutter-release button the rest

of the way down.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing

the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the

battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in

loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

C The Auto Off Function

• When no operations are performed for about one minute, the monitor turns off,

the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The

camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.

• To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an

operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

C When Using a Tripod

We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode (A11) set to W (off)

- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
