CAMERA MODE
This mode is used for capturing still images. The pictures taken will be stored in the camera's internal memory or the memory-card in JPEG file
format.
Shooting Basics
When the card is inserted into the camera, your captured still images/video clips will be stored in the
card's memory. When the card is removed, the internal memory of the camera will be used as the storage
media.
Procedures:
1. Get the camera ready. (Refer to
2. Toggle on the MODE button to select the Camera mode [
3. Frame your subject. You may use either the viewfinder or the 1.5" full color TFT LCD monitor (Toggle the LCD/OK button to activate or
deactivate it).

4. Press the shutter button fully down.
If the "QUICK VIEW" function has been set to ON, the image captured will appear on the LCD monitor for a few seconds.
5. To continue capturing, repeat the above steps 3 & 4.
