BASIC RECORDING OPERATION

Use the zooming ring to frame the subject (1). The
1
effect of the zoom is immediately displayed in the
viewfinder (EVF) and LCD monitor.
Place the subject within the focus frame. For off-center
subjects, use the focus-lock function (p. 34).
The subject must be within the focus range of the lens:
0.5m (1.6ft) - . For subjects closer than 0.5m (1.6ft),
use the macro function (p. 49).

When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear
in the live image to indicate the point of focus. The
3
focus signals (p. 35) on the monitors will confirm that
the image is in focus. If the focus signal is red, the
camera was unable to focus on the subject. Repeat the
previous steps until the signal is white. The shutter
speed and aperture value will change from white to
black indicating the exposure is locked.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (3) to
take the picture. The access lamp glows indicating the
image data is being written to the memory card. Never
remove a card while data is being transferred.
