How to use
Turn the camera on, select a shooting mode and frame your subject on the 3.0" LCD. Use the zoom control to adjust focal length between the 25mm wide angle and 12x telephoto; Auto Zoom can suggest ideal framing. Press the shutter to capture photos or press the dedicated movie button to record Full HD video. Use Creative Shot to generate automatic creative variations, Hybrid Auto to create a short HD movie summary, or 1 cm Macro for close‑up detail. For remote shooting or sharing, enable Wi‑Fi and tap with a compatible NFC device to connect, then use your smart device to back up or control the camera.
Usage recommendations
For sharper handheld shots in low light, enable the optical Image Stabilizer and increase ISO only as needed to avoid noise. Use the 25mm wide angle for interiors and landscapes, and the 12x zoom for distant subjects; when zoomed, use steadier support or Remote Shooting from a connected device to reduce blur.
