Be careful to ensure that the lens, flash and
flash control sensor are not obscured by your
hands or the camera strap.
●
! If the lens, flash or flash control sensor is obscured
by your fingers or the camera strap, you may not be
able to obtain the correct brightness (exposure) for
your shot.
●
! Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the
lens as described on P.93.

Use the LCD monitor or viewfinder to locate your
subject in the frame.
● ! To frame your shot precisely, you should take the
picture using the LCD monitor.
● ! In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject
clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in sunny weather
outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes). In
such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.

When you press the shutter button, the camera
emits a short beep and takes the picture. The
data is then recorded.
●
! When you press the shutter button, there is a very
short delay before the picture is actually taken.
●
! The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is
charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the
screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault.
● ! The flash charging time may increase when the battery
charge gets lower.
● ! Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed and
varies depending on the subject (level of image detail,
etc.), the number of available shots may not decrease
after the image is recorded, or may decrease by 2.
● ! See P.99-101 for information on the warning
displays.
