Taking a Picture in Auto Mode

1. Press the power switch toward ON and then
release it. Swivel the lens to a comfortable position,
remove the lens cap, and check the number of
pictures remaining in the lower right corner of the
monitor.
2. Compose the image in the viewfinder making sure
the subject that you want sharpest is in the focus
brackets in the center of the viewfinder.
3. Press the shutter button halfway down so the
camera can set focus and exposure. When these are
set, the green autofocus lamp next to the view-
finder glows steady. If the camera has problems
focusing, the lamp flashes (page 64). If the light is
dim, the flash will pop up (page 100).
4. Press the shutter button all the way down to take
the picture. The camera beeps, the image is dis-
played on the monitor, and the AF lamp next to the
viewfinder flashes green as the image is saved to
the CompactFlash card.
5. When done, press the power switch toward OFF
and release it. Replace the lens cap.
