• Press the shutter release button lightly with the soft pad of your fingertip. Pressing the
button roughly will result in camera shake. (See “Avoiding camera shake”
p.4-4.)
• When the caution LED flashes rapidly before the picture is taken, this indicates that there
is a risk of camera shake occurring. Place the camera on a steady surface (table, etc.) and
use the self-timer or, depending on the subject, use the flash. (See “Avoiding camera
shake” on p.4-4 and “Using the Flash” on p.4-2.)
• When the caution LED flashes relatively slowly after the shot is taken, this indicates that
the flash is charging. Wait until the LED goes off before taking the next shot. (See “Using
the Flash”
p.4-2.)
• When the card access LED is flashing, this indicates that the image is being recorded onto
the memory card. Do not open the card/battery cover or remove the memory card while
the LED is flashing as this could cause data corruption or, in some cases, camera
damage.
• You can take pictures while the card access LED is flashing.

Available shooting time display in Movie mode
The shooting time shown on the LCD monitor when you start shooting in Movie mode does
not indicate the time available for one continuous shot. The length of a continuous movie
shot is limited by the speed at which data is written to the SD memory card and differs
depending on the card you are using.
If you use a high-speed SD memory card (an SD memory card with a write speed of 10 MB/
sec. or faster), the available shooting time displayed on the LCD monitor serves as a guide
to the actual continuous shooting time available.
• Depending on the SD memory card write speed, the camera may stop shooting in mid
shot.
• For more information on file sizes and available shooting times, see the “Accessories and
Specifications” sheet supplied separately.
• When the amount of shooting time remaining reaches 10 seconds, the counter display
turns red.
