• Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is
pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred.
• Recorded pictures will be saved on the card regardless of whether the
camera is turned off or the battery is replaced or removed.
• Never open the card cover, remove the battery or disconnect the AC
adapter while the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy
stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
• When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in
shadow may appear colored.
