Press the SHUTTER button halfway
to set the focus.
When focus is set, the indicator light turns steady.
When the picture is not in focus the indicator light
will flash. If this occurs, take your finger off the
shutter button and try refocus the picture.
Please note that the picture will not focus if your
subject is closer than 50 cm. Use the MACRO
mode. (See page 50.)
Press the SHUTTER button all the
way to take the photo.
The shutter sound indicates the shutter has
released. To turn off the shutter sound, see page

light stops flashing.
Be sure to turn OFF the camera
when you are finished by pressing
the POWER button.
The lens will retract and the automatic cover will

The explanation for turning OFF the POWER will be

When using the VIEWFINDER to take close-up pictures, there will be a slight difference
between what you see and what the camera records through the lens, referred to as parallax.
Be mindful of this difference in close-up situations using the viewfinder.
When taking photos using the VIEWFINDER with the LCD Monitor off, pushing the MENU button
will turn on the function display menus so you can change settings for different situations. (See
pages 43,51-61.)
You can turn off the menu display by pressing the MENU button again.
