Taking pictures (See Fig. F — page 27.)
1. Turn the power ON and open the lens cover by sliding the power switch in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Hold the camera steady with both hands. Be careful not to block the flash,
autofocus window or lens with your fingers.
3. To ensure sharp pictures, make sure your subject is at least 1.3m (4.3 ft) away
from the camera*
4. Look through the viewfinder and position the autofocus frame marks on the
main subject.
5. Press the shutter release button lightly to focus the subject.
*Note: If the camera-to-subject distance is closer than 1.3m (4.3 ft), an out-of-
focus picture may result.
6. Fully depress the shutter release button to take the picture.
• The lens cover is interlocked with the camera's safety mechanism. You can take
pictures only when the lens cover is open all the way.
