Shooting in Auto Mode

Auto mode is the easiest mode to take photos. While operating in this mode, the camera automatically optimizes your photos for best results.

To start shooting, do the following:

Press Power to turn the camera on.
In the Mode menu, select the Auto mode (📷).
Compose your picture on the LCD screen and press the Shutter button halfway to focus on the subject.
The focus frame in the middle of the LCD will turn to green when the subject is properly in focus.
Press Shutter fully to capture the image.

Using the Zoom Function

Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom. Use zoom control at the top of the camera to zoom in or out on your subject while taking pictures.

When the optical factor reaches its maximum value, it stops momentarily. Release and push the zoom wheel again, and the optical zoom will switch over to digital zoom automatically. After the adjustment, the zoom indication scale hides immediately, and the current zoom status is indicated by the following symbol 🔍.
