Notes:
• Recording under insufficient lighting may
result in blurred images. It is recommended
that you use a tripod to record insufficiently
illuminated subjects.

mercury, or sodium lamp may cause
flickering in the image and, depending on the
timing of the shot, may result in changes to
colour hue in the image.

the focus locking sound.

Do not turn the power off or remove the
card while the
