Taking a picture


  1. Press the Power button to turn on the camera.

The camera turns on in Smart Capture mode.

  2. Compose a picture.

  3. Press the Shutter button halfway to focus and set exposure. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter button completely down.

NOTE: You can repeatedly press Info to turn on/off controls and status icons. When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the framing marks remain locked on the face or the in-focus object, even if you move the camera. To use other capture modes, see Using different modes.

Reviewing the picture/video just taken

After you take a picture/video, the LCD displays a quickview for approximately 5 seconds. (To exit the quickview sooner, press the Shutter button halfway.)

To review pictures/videos anytime, see Reviewing pictures/videos. For more about bookmarks, see Using video bookmarks.

Using the framing marks to take pictures

Framing marks indicate the camera focus area. In Smart Capture mode (and in some SCN modes), the camera attempts to focus on faces.


  1. Press the Shutter button halfway.

When the framing marks turn green, focus is accomplished.

  2. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear), release the Shutter button and recompose the scene.

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

NOTE: Multiple framing marks may appear when faces are detected. Framing marks do not appear in Landscape or Video mode.
