Shooting and Playback Basics
•
Always remove the lens cap before you switch the camera on.
•
Never open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or unplug
the AC adapter while the card access lamp is blinking. This could not only
prevent the recording of your current picture, but could also destroy the data
recorded on the card.
•
If you do not operate the camera for three minutes, the Power Save mech-
anism automatically switches off the control panel (sleep mode). Press the
shutter button or zoom lever to switch the control panel display back on.
Though the camera automatically switches off after approximately four
hours in Standby mode, you should make a practice of switching the cam-
era off as soon as possible when you are not taking pictures. (These times
may be longer if you are using new batteries and depend on the type of bat-
teries used.)
•
Photographed images are saved even if you switch the camera off or
replace the batteries.
