Recording Still Images

1. Hold the camera with both hands and make sure the camera is stable.
2. Set the camera to the Record mode (see page 14).
3. Aim the focus area to the subject that you want to take and press the shutter release button
halfway.
The focus area on the LCD monitor will light green when the camera is in focus.
If the shutter speed is slow or the possibility that image may be blurred, the shake warning
icon may appear on the LCD monitor. To avoid it, use a tripod to stabilize the camera when
recording images.
4. Fully press the shutter release button to take an image.
Make sure that your fingers or the wrist strap does not block the lens.
When the shutter release button is pressed halfway down, check the exposure value that
appears on the LCD monitor to make sure that it is appropriate for the lighting conditions.

Using the Zoom Function

Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom
functions that allow you to zoom in on far away subjects or
zoom out for a wide angle shot.
The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting
the lens of the camera. The digital zoom enlarges or
shrinks the image using a software process.
When the zoom lever is pressed, the zoom bar appears on
