BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
5. Record the image.
IMPORTANT!
• The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times
when you record an image. The initial flashes are
pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain
information it uses for exposure settings. The final
flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep the
camera still until the shutter releases.
• Image recording may not be performed if you press
the shutter release button while the operation/flash
charge lamp is flashing amber.
NOTE
• You can use the key customization feature (pages
66, 67) to configure the camera so the flash mode
changes whenever you press [

[ ̄ ] while in the REC mode.
