SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Snapshot Shooting Precautions
■
Operation
•
While the operation lamp is flashing green, never open the
battery cover or place the camera onto or remove it from the
USB cradle. Doing so can result in incorrect storage of the
image you just shot, damage to other images stored in
memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.
•
Shooting a dark subject while “Auto” is selected for the ISO
sensitivity (page 126) setting will cause the camera to
increase sensitivity and increase shutter speed automatically.
Such conditions can cause digital noise in the image.
•
If unneeded light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the
lens with your hand when shooting an image.
■
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
•
The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image
composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality
set for the image quality setting.
•
Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen
response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor
screen image.
•
Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but
will be recorded in the case of a movie.
■
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent
Lighting
•
Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the
brightness or color of an image.
