Still Images
•
A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take
other measures to keep it still.
•
If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the
subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (
•
The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when
you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing
range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (
•
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
•
A blinking [
h
] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates
that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging.
Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press
the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press
it again.
•
The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies
(Sleeping) icons (
) are displayed.
•
Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is
displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness,
and colors used.
•
You can change how long images are displayed after shots (
).
Movies
•
Keep your fingers away from the
microphone while shooting movies.
Blocking the microphone may prevent
audio from being recorded or may
cause the recording to sound muffled.
•
Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
•
Once movie recording begins, a smaller image display area is
shown, with the subject enlarged, as a measure when correcting
distortion such as rotational camera shake. To shoot subjects at the
same size shown before shooting, adjust the image stabilization
).
•
Audio is recorded in stereo.
•
Distorted audio caused by recording when the wind is strong can be reduced.
However, the recording may sound unnatural when this option is used when
there is no wind. When the wind is not strong, press the <
n
> button,
choose [Wind Filter] on the [
4
] tab, and then choose [Off] (
