Shooting (Smart Auto)
Still Images
•
A flashing [ ] 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 “Specifications”
(
=
274).
•
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 “Specifications” (
=
274).
•
To reduce red‑eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be
activated when shooting in low‑light conditions.
• A blinking [ h ] 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 (
=
95) are displayed.
• The flash firing during shots indicates that the camera has automatically
attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main subject and background
(Multi‑area White Balance).
