• Do not open the battery cover or card cover, or disconect the AC
adapter, while images are stored to the internal memory of the camera
or while images are being recorded.
• Turning the power on and off, rotating the mode dial or changing the
image quality sometimes increases the number of frames remaining.
• The flash does not fire in the Text mode.
• Depending on the image quality mode, the maximum number of
frames that can be exposed continuously in the Quick shooting mode
is as follows.
* This is the maximum number of frames that can be exposed continuously at
one time. Photographs can be taken continuously depending on the number
of frames remaining in the smart media and built-in memory.
• The continuous mode cannot be used when the total number of file
names reaches 9999. Format the smart media or the built-in memory
before attempting to take more photographs.
Tips
Using the Camera for Extended Periods of Time
The camera will switch off automatically (auto power-off) to conserve the
battery if it is left idle (no buttons, switches or other controls operated) for
fixed time. When you require more time to compose a shot, disable the
auto power-off feature. Have spare batteries or an AC adapter handy
before using the camera for an extended period of time. See “Auto Power
Off Setting” (p.103).

When Focusing is Difficult
You may experience difficulty focusing on the following subjects:
• Objects with little or no contrast (such as the sky, white walls, and car hoods)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions
or indentations
• Fast-moving targets
• Low-brightness objects (in dark places)
• Strongly backlit objects and objects struck by strong reflected light
• Flickering objects (such as fluorescent lights)
When shooting subjects like these, focus on another subject that is located at about
the same distance and then aim at the target with that focus setting.

“Focus Lock Shooting” (p.62). “Focus Mode Shooting” (p.63).
