TAKING PICTURES IN AUTO MODE
1. Remove the lens cap, set the Main Dial to shooting mode
(the red camera icon), then set the Mode Dial to the green
AUTO.
2. Compose the image in the viewfinder making sure the area
that you want sharpest is in the autofocus crosshairs. You
can use the zoom lever to change the angle of view.
3. Press the shutter button halfway down so the camera can
set the focus, exposure, and white balance. The indicators
next to the viewfinder will glow or blink as described in the
box to the left.
4. Press the shutter button all the way down to take the
picture.
The shutter sounds and the indicator next to the view-
finder flashes green until the image is fully stored. You can
take another photo immediately if there is room for it in the
camera's memory.
If the monitor is open and on, the image is displayed for
2 seconds so you can review it.
5. When done shooting, turn the Main Dial to OFF and
replace the lens cap.
