BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
5. After making sure that the
image is focused properly,
press the shutter release
button the rest of the way
down to record.
• The number of images that can
be stored in memory depends on
the image size and image quality
setting you are using (pages 58,
60).
• Press the shutter release button gently to avoid
camera movement.
IMPORTANT!
• When the “REC” tab’s “Auto PF” setting is turned on
(page 62), the camera immediately records the
image using Pan Focus (page 64) without waiting for
Auto Focus to be performed when you press the
shutter release all the way down without pausing.
This helps to avoid missing a special moment while
you wait for the camera to Auto Focus.

Recording Precautions
• Never open the battery compartment cover or place the
camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation
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 86), 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 recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected
for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 86), the camera
increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.
Because of this, you need to guard against camera
movement if you have flash turned off (page 53).
• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens
with your hand when recording the image.
