Owner's Manual

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING � This causes an image or a message to appear on the monitor screen, and then enters the currently selected recording mode. � If the camera is in the PLAY mode when it turns on, the message �There are no files� will appear if you do not have any images stored in memory yet. In addition, the icon will be visible at the top of the display. If this happens, press [ ] (REC) to enter the currently selected recording mode.

3. Compose the image on the monitor screen so
the main subject is within the focus frame.
� The focusing range of the camera depends on focus mode you are using (page 68). � You can compose images using either the monitor screen or the optical viewfinder (page 54). � When using the optical viewfinder to compose images, you can use the [DISP] button to turn off the monitor screen and conserve battery power.

2. Change the �REC

Mode� setting to � Snapshot�.
� The (Snapshot mode) icon is displayed on the monitor screen while the Snapshot mode is selected. � You can also use the key customization feature to assign the mode change operation to the cursor keys, so the �REC Mode� setting is changed whenever you press the [ ] or [ ] key (page 104).
