Operating the Camera
1. Basic Photography
To take a photo, select your desired shooting mode using the mode dial (e.g., Auto, Program AE, Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Manual). Frame your shot using the 3.0-inch tilting LCD monitor. Press the shutter button halfway to focus, then press fully to capture the image.
