3 Shooting
Depress the shutter release button fully,
and the shutter will release. Then, the filnn
automatically advances to the next frame.
Notes:
• When the shutter is released, the self-timer
lamp lights up momentarily to indicate that
a picture has been taken.
• If you wish to focus on another subject, lift
your finger off the shutter release button
and depress the shutter release button
halfway again.
• The shutter cannot be released while the
lens is zooming.
Automatic Flash Emission
When taking pictures in low light, the flash
will automatically discharge. When the shut¬
ter release button is depressed halfway in low
light, the red lamp will light up, indicating the
flash is ready to discharge. If the red lamp
blinks, this indicates that the built-in flash is
being charged. Therefore, make sure the red
lamp lights continuously before taking pic¬
tures.
Red-eye
Shooting portraits with the flash may result in
"red-eye", the red dot in your subject's eye.
This camera includes a red-eye reduction
flash function, which suppresses the red-eye
phenomenon by using preflash. See page 18
for details.
