BASIC RECORDING PROCEDURE
* When pressing the shutter-
release button, there is a point
where the button stops halfway.
To press the shutter-released
button to this point is described
“Press part-way down” in this
manual.
Be sure not to open the battery-chamber door, disconnect the plug of the
AC adapter or remove the CF card until the recording in the CF card is
completed (until the focus lamp (green) and “RECORDING” stops blinking).
The data in the CF card may be damaged or lost.
Press the shutter-release button part-
way down.
• The camera adjusts the focus automatically.
When the subject is focused, the focus
lamp (green) lights up.
• When the focus lamp (green) blinks, follow
the operation from step [3] again.
• When the flash will fire, the flash lamp
(orange) lights up.
• When the flash lamp (orange) blinks slowly
(about 2 times in a second), the shutter
speed becomes slow. Taking a picture in
this mode may cause an image blurred.
• We recommend you to take pictures after
fixing the camera on the tripod.

Press the shutter-release button the
rest of the way down.
• If the flash lamp (orange) blinks when the
shutter-release button is pressed all the way
down, the flash is being charged. When the
shutter-release button is kept pressed in
this status, the shutter is released at the
same time when the flash is charged.
• The captured image is displayed on the
LCD monitor and is recorded in the CF
card. While the image is recorded, the focus
lamp (green) blinks slowly (about 2 times in
a second) and “RECORDING” blinks on the
LCD monitor slowly.
