How to use the AUTO mode

Please select this mode for quick and easy picture taking with minimal user
interaction.
1. Insert the battery (p.16) taking note of the correct
polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the memory card (p.16). As this camera has a
20MB internal memory, it is not essential to insert
the memory card. If the memory card is not
inserted, an image will be stored in the internal
memory. If the memory card is inserted, an image
will be stored on the memory card.
3. Close the battery chamber cover.
4. Press the power button to turn on the camera.
(If the date / time that is displayed on the LCD
monitor is incorrect, reset the date / time before
taking a picture.)
5. Select the AUTO mode by rotating the mode dial.
6. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by using the
LCD monitor.
7. Press the shutter button to capture an image.
If the Auto focus area turns to red when you press the shutter button
down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus on the subject.
Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture an image
clearly.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
