Still Images

A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred

by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take

other measures to keep it still.

If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the

subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (

=

155

).

The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when

you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing

range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (

=

155

).

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be

activated when shooting in low-light conditions.

A blinking [

h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates

that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging.

Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press

the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press

it again.

Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is

displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness,

and colors used.

You can change how long images are displayed after shots (

=

39

).

Movies

The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly

over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.

Keep your fingers away from the

microphone while shooting movies.

Blocking the microphone may prevent

audio from being recorded or may

cause the recording to sound muffled.

Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when

shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be

recorded.

Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes and

subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant camera

shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting,

adjust the image stabilization setting (

=

63

).

Audio recording is monaural.
