2 Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips Taking Still Pictures You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, regardless of what is being shown on the Image Display. To take a still picture: 1. Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder. 2. Hold the camera steady and press the Shutter button on the top of the camera halfway down. The camera measures and locks the focus and exposure. The AF viewfinder light turns on solid green when focus is locked (see Focusing the Camera on page 39 for details). 3. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture. You will hear a shutter click when the camera takes the picture (see Camera Sounds on page 123). TIP: Hold the camera with both hands when pressing the Shutter button to reduce camera shake and prevent blurry pictures. Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 33
