2 Taking pictures and videos

Using the camera screen as a viewfinder

IMPORTANT:

The camera screen quickly depletes battery power; use it sparingly. To change the camera screen setting so that it is off when you turn on the camera, see .

		1. Frame your subject in the camera screen. For more about auto-focus framing marks, see Using the auto-focus framing marks.
		2. Press the Shutter button halfway and hold to set the exposure and focus. When the framing marks change color, press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.
		3. To turn off the camera screen, press the OK button.

Using the auto-focus framing marks

When using the camera screen as a viewfinder, framing marks indicate the area that the camera is focusing on. For the best possible pictures, the camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects, even if the subjects are not centered in the scene.

NOTE:

This procedure does not apply to videos.

1. Press the Shutter button halfway and hold.

   When the framing marks turn red, focus is accomplished.
   
   

   While the shutter button is pressed halfway:
   	Center focus
   	Center wide focus
   	Side focus
   	Center and side focus
   	Left and right focus

2. Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.

3. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear and the Ready light blinks orange), release your finger, recompose the scene, and go to Step 2.

NOTE:

Framing marks appear only when the camera screen is on. Framing marks do not appear in Landscape mode.
