• If the orange or yellow indicator blinks while you press
halfway, you can still press fully to take the shot.
• Images are first saved into the camera’s internal
memory before being recorded onto the CF card,
allowing the next images to be taken immediately as
long as sufficient space is available in the internal
memory.
• The beep and shutter sound can be set On / Off in the
Set up menu (p. 178).
• When the shutter sound is set to Off, but the beep is set
to On, one beep will sound when the shutter button is
fully pressed.
• There is no shutter sound in movie mode.
• Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.
AF-Assist Beam
• The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit when the
shutter button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in
certain conditions, i.e. dark conditions.
• The AF-assist beam can be turned off (p. 175).
If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when
shooting in the dark to avoid startling them. However,
please keep in mind the following facts.
- Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more
difficult for the camera to focus.
- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when you press
the shutter button halfway even if the AF-assist beam
is turned off.
In order to prevent any lamp from emitting before the
flash fires, set both the red-eye reduction function and
the AF-assist beam to [Off] in the Shooting menu.
