Taking a picture
IMPORTANT: When you take a picture, your camera saves: 
■full-size pictures on your card, and
■smaller copies of pictures in the SLICE Album
When you transfer pictures/videos to your computer, only the full-size versions (from 
your card or internal memory) are transferred. Your SLICE Album keeps copies, so you 
can relive the experience of each picture—no matter where you go! (To learn more, 
see page 29.)
Press the Shutter button halfway to lock the focus. When you turn on the camera, it’s ready to take pictures 
in Smart Capture mode
