Taking Pictures
There are a
number of modes to use to take photos. If you want to learn the
fancy stuff, study the users manual. Otherwise, follow these
steps:
|
1.
Place the top dial to the P position. The camera will
turn on, make grinding noises and emit a number of beeps.
Ignore all of that.
|
|
|
2.
Take the lens cap off. |
You don’t need a picture for this step. |
|
3.
Push
the “Quick View” button. This allows you to see the screen.
Alternately, you could use the viewfinder and save
batteries. |
|
|
4.
Find the shutter button on the top of the camera. It
is surrounded by the zoom lever switch.
5.
Use this lever to operate the zoom.
6.
Depress the shutter button half way to get a preview
of a potential picture.
7.
Depress the shutter all the way to take a picture. |
