Taking still pictures (Cont.) Chapter 4 ● Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred. ● Recorded pictures will be saved on the SmartMedia card regardless of whether the camera is turned off or the batteries are replaced or removed. ● NEVER open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or pull the plug when the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken. Taking still pictures while using the monitor With the monitor, you can shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records. It is also possible to check information such as memory gauge, aperture, shutter speed, etc. Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor Viewfinder Monitor Advantage: Camera movement does not occur easily and subjects can be seen clearly even in bright places. Little battery power is used. Disadvantage: When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Tips: Use the viewfinder for general snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.) or when taking several pictures in a row. Advantage: You can check the picture area that the camera actually records. Disadvantage: Camera movement can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Tips: Use the monitor when you need to know the exact area the camera records, or to shoot a subject 0.2 m - 0.8 m (8 inches - 2.6 ft) or closer (macro shooting). Viewfinder ● The camera records a wider area than the image in the viewfinder. ● As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left). Striped area: Picture that the camera actually records. ~ Continued on next page 81
