BASIC RECORDING
SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY
HANDLING THE CAMERA
Grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting
the body with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at
your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the
camera steadily. The use of a tripod or monopod is
recommended when using the camera in low-light situations or
when using telephoto lenses.
BASIC RECORDING DISPLAY
The viewfinder and monitor show the same indicators used in the basic recording
operations.
Turn the exposure dial to the auto or program (P)
position. The camera controls are automatic.
Auto acts like the program mode, except that many of
the recording functions are reset each time it is
selected, see page 41 for more information. Not all
function are available in auto recording such as the
color mode and Digital Effects Control. The default
camera sensitivity (p. 54) is auto for auto recording
and ISO 100 for program.
