Taking Photos Using the LCD Screen
You can take photos while viewing the subject on the LCD screen in either automatic or manual modes.
(For instructions on taking pictures using just the viewfinder, which saves power, see “Taking Photos Using
the Viewfinder Only” on page 35.)
1. Turn the Mode dial to automatic or manual mode.
2. Center your subject in the middle of the square focus frame on the screen.
3. Press and hold the shutter button halfway down. The focus frame turns green and the focus is set. If you
want to reframe your picture, move the camera until the photo you want appears on the screen.
4. Press the shutter button all the way down. The camera beeps as it captures the image.
If you want to turn off or change the beep sound, see “Adjusting Camera Settings” on page 41.
Note:
The LCD screen may turn off to save battery power after you take a picture. Press any button or turn the
Mode dial to turn the screen back on.
Zooming In and Out
For most photos you must stand at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from your subject. (For close-up shooting,
you can use the macro setting; see “Taking Close-ups With Macro Mode” on page 28.) You can use both
optical and digital zoom to capture a closer view of your subject.
