BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Recording an Image Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera's built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera. • When an optionally available SD memory card or MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the camera, images are stored on the card (page 169). After purchasing a memory card, be sure to load it into the camera and format it before trying to use it (page 172). 1. Press the power button or [ ] (REC) to turn on the camera. Power button [] • This causes the image and the auto recording icon ( ) to appear on the monitor screen, and then enters the currently selected recording mode. If the auto recording icon ( ) is not displayed, use the procedure on page 85 to select the "Auto" scene. This should cause the auto recording icon to appear. • If the camera is in the PLAY mode when it turns on, the message "There are no files." will appear if you do not have any images stored in memory yet. In addition, the icon will be visible at the top of the display. If this happens, press [ ] (REC) to enter the currently selected recording mode. 2. Compose the image on the monitor screen so the main subject is within the focus frame. • The focusing range of the camera depends on focus mode you are using (page 71).
