SHOOTING BASICS J TAKING STILL PICTURES You can take still pictures using either the viewfinder or the monitor. Both methods are easy as all you have to do is to press the shutter button. Taking still pictures using the viewfinder 1 Set the mode dial to and turn the camera on. 2 Position the AF target mark in the viewfinder on the subject. 3 Press the shutter button gently (halfway) to adjust the En focus. • When the focus and exposure are locked, the green lamp lights. • If the orange lamp lights, the flash fires automatically. 4 Press the shutter button all the way (fully). • The camera takes the picture. • The card access lamp blinks while the picture is stored on the card. • When the green lamp stops blinking, you can take the next picture. Taking still pictures using the monitor 1 Set the mode dial to and turn the camera on. 2 Press to turn the monitor on. • You can also change the angle of the monitor when taking pictures. 3 Position the AF target mark on the subject while looking at the image on the monitor. Decide the composition of the picture. 4 Take the picture by following the same procedure as for shooting using the viewfinder. • When the focus is locked by pressing the shutter button halfway, the green lamp on the monitor lights. The AF target mark moves to the focused position. 32 En
