BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Recording Precautions

• Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto

the USB cradle while the operation/flash charge lamp is
flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to
be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file
memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.

• Never remove the memory card while an image is being

recorded to the memory card.

• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that

cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the
camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience
some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 65), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity
in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can
cause some static noise to appear in images of relatively
dark subjects.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 65), the camera raises the sensitivity and uses a
faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard
against camera movement if you have flash turned off
(page 45) when recording a dimly lit subject.

• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens

with your hand when recording the image.

Using Zoom

You can use the digital zoom feature of your camera to
zoom in on the center of an image. Performing a zoom
operation toggles the zoom factor between 1X and 4X.
