SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Snapshot Shooting Precautions
■
Operation
• Never open the battery cover while the operation lamp is
flashing green. Doing so can result in incorrect storage of the
image you just shot, damage to other images stored in
memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.
• If unneeded light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the
lens with your hand when shooting an image.
■
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image
composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality
set for the image quality setting.
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen
response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor
screen image.
■
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent
Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the
brightness or color of an image.
Auto Focus Restrictions
• Proper focus may not be possible when shooting the following
types of subjects.
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject
– Strongly back lit subject
– Very shiny subject
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera
– Subject in a dark location
– Fast-moving subject
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera
• Proper focus may not be possible if the camera is moved
while shooting.
• An image may be out of focus even though the operation
lamp is lit green and the focus frame is green.
If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 121)
or manual focus (page 123).
