While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the autofocus lamp
will blink, and a flashing card icon will be displayed in the LCD monitor when the
camera returns to shooting mode. Although additional pictures can be taken
while the camera saves earlier photos to the card, you should not eject the
memory card, remove the batteries, or unplug the AC adapter (available sepa-
rately) until the lamp has stopped blinking and the icon has disappeared from
the monitor. Removing the card or cutting power while recording is in progress
could result in loss of data.
