Shooting Taking still pictures P A/S/M 2 1 Set the Mode dial to "P". Shooting and Playback Basics q You can also take pictures with the Mode dial set to "A/S/M". (P.88-91) 2 Compose the picture by looking through the viewfinder and using the zoom lever. (P.72) q Compose the shot so that the subject is in the center of the AF target mark. q The actual shot is slightly larger than the area visible in the viewfinder. 3 Press the shutter button down halfway. q The focus and exposure are locked and the green lamp beside the viewfinder lights. q To focus on a subject that is not in the center of the shot, use focus lock. (P.78) q If the green lamp blinks, the focus or exposure is not locked. See "Focusing on dif- ficult subjects (subjects not suited to autofocus)" on P.76. q If you have selected full-time AF (P.79), the camera constantly focuses even when the shutter button is not pressed down halfway, making focusing times 60 shorter.
