2) Shoot.
 
Press the shutter button all the way down.
 
As the camera shoots, a shutter sound 
is played, and in low-light conditions 
when you have raised the flash, it fires 
automatically.
 
Keep the camera still until the shutter 
sound ends.
 
After displaying your shot, the camera will 
revert to the shooting screen.
Recording Movies
1)  Start recording.
 
Press the movie button. The camera 
beeps once as recording begins, and  
[ Rec] is displayed with the elapsed 
time (1).
 
Black bars are displayed on the top and 
bottom edges of the screen, and the 
subject is slightly enlarged. The black 
bars indicate image areas not recorded.
 
Frames displayed around any detected 
faces indicate that they are in focus.
 
Once recording begins, take your finger 
off the movie button.
2)   Resize the subject and recompose 
the shot as needed.
 
To resize the subject, repeat the 
operations in step 3.  
However, note that the sound of camera 
operations will be recorded. Note that 
movies shot at zoom factors shown in 
blue will look grainy.
 
When you recompose shots, the 
focus, brightness, and colors will be 
automatically adjusted.

Compose the shot.
 
To zoom in and enlarge the subject, move 
the zoom lever toward [
] (telephoto), 
and to zoom away from the subject, move 
it toward [ ] (wide angle). (A zoom 
bar (1) showing the zoom position is 
displayed, along with the range of focus 
(2).)
 
To zoom in or out quickly, move the zoom 
lever all the way toward [
] (telephoto) 
or [ ] (wide angle), and to zoom in 
or out slowly, move it just a little in the 
desired direction.
Shoot.
Shooting Still Images
1) Focus.
 
Press the shutter button halfway. The 
camera beeps twice after focusing, and 
frames are displayed to indicate image 
areas in focus.
 
Several frames are displayed when 
multiple areas are in focus.
 
If [Raise the flash] is displayed, move 
the [ ] switch to raise the flash. It will fire 
when shooting. If you prefer not to use 
the flash, push it down with your finger, 
into the camera.
