Still Images
● A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be
blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on
a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.
● If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to
the subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range”
(= 198).
● The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once
when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the
focusing range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (= 198).
● To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
● A blinking [ ] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot
indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished
recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready,
so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait,
or release it and press it again.
● The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and
Babies (Sleeping) icons (= 37) are displayed.
● Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen
is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus,
brightness, and colors used.
● You can change how long images are displayed after shots
(= 56).
● Digest movie quality is [ ] and cannot be changed.
● Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway
or trigger the self-timer (= 145).
● Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following
cases even if they were recorded on the same day in [
] mode.
- The digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the
total recording time reaches approximately 13 minutes and
20 seconds.
- The digest movie is protected (= 110).
- Daylight saving time (= 20) or time zone (= 146) settings
are changed.
- A new folder is created (= 150).
● Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased.
● If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust
the setting in advance. Choose MENU (= 30) ► [
] tab ►
[Digest Type] ► [No Stills].
● Individual chapters can be edited (= 121).
Digest Movie Playback
Display a still image shot in [ ] mode to play a digest movie, or specify

camera will no longer sound. To activate sounds again, press the
[
] button and choose [Mute] on the [ ] tab, and then
press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [Off].
