•
Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If the
button is pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may
come out blurred.
•
Recorded pictures will remain on the card if the camera is turned off
or the battery or card is replaced.
•
Never open the battery/card compartment cover or disconnect the
optional AC adapter while the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so
could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you
have just taken.
