Quick Start Guide

Basic Shooting and Playback Operations

3 Frame the picture.

• Move the zoom control or the side zoom control to change the zoom lens position.

• If you lose sight of the subject while shooting with the lens in telephoto position,

press the p (snap-back zoom) button to temporarily widen the visible area so that

you can frame the subject more easily.

4 Press the shutter-release button

halfway.

• To press the shutter-release button

“halfway” means to press and hold the

button at the point where you feel a

slight resistance.

• 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.

5 Without lifting your finger, press the

shutter-release button all the way

down.
