TIPS
Correct focus cannot be obtained on the subject you want to shoot.
→
"If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.50)
The green lamp blinks.
→
You are too close to the subject. Take the picture at least 20 cm (7.9")
away from the subject. If you use the super macro mode, you can
take pictures as close as 7 cm/2.8" from the subject.
"Super macro mode shooting" (P.65)
→
Depending on the subject, the focus may not be locked.
"If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.50)
The orange lamp blinks when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
→
The flash is charging. While the orange lamp is blinking quickly after
shooting, the picture you just took is being stored. Wait until the lamp
goes off.
To check the picture you have just taken immediately.
→
Set REC VIEW to ON.
"REC VIEW" (P.111)
• Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is
pressed hard, the camera may move, resulting in a blur.
• Never open the card cover, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC
adapter while the orange lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored
pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
• When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in
shadow may appear colored.
