Basic Operation
Main Switch
The camera operates only after the Main Switch is set to <ON >.
< ON > : Set to this position when the camera is in use.
< OFF > : The camera does not operate.
Set to this position when not using the camera.
●
To save battery power, the camera automatically turns off if you do not operate it for approximately one minute (Auto power off function). To use the camera again, press the shutter button down halfway, or set the Main Switch to < OFF > and then set it to <ON > again. You can use the Menu functions to set the Auto power off function to [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 4], [ 8 ], [ 15 ], or [ 30 ] minutes, or [ Off ]. (

●
If you set the Main Switch to < OFF > immediately after you take a picture, the access lamp may blink for a few seconds so that the image is recorded onto the
CF card.
The access lamp will go off when the image has been recorded onto the CF card and the camera will turn off automatically.
Shutter Button
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
(1) Halfway pressing (
4
)
Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic exposure mechanism and sets the shutter speed and aperture value.
The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
(2) Full pressing
This releases the shutter and takes the picture.

●
This camera has been designed so that taking pictures is given priority over other operations. Unless the internal memory is full, you will always be able to take pictures immediately by pressing the shutter button down.
●
Regardless of the camera status (playback, menu selection or image recording in progress, etc.), you can return to shooting mode immediately by pressing the shutter button down halfway.
