Recording Images under Low Battery Power
To protect against unexpected loss of image data, images
are recorded one-by-one whenever the battery level is indi-
cated as
or lower. During the save operation, the mes-
sage “Press DISP to cancel save.” is on the monitor
screen. As long as you do not press DISP, the save opera-
tion continues for a few seconds. Be sure to replace the bat-
tery as soon as possible after this message starts to appear.
Pressing DISP while the “Press DISP to cancel save.” is
on the monitor screen causes the image save operation to
be cancelled.
IMPORTANT!
• The message described above does not appear while
the monitor screen is turned off.
• The message appears for each image recorded when
the battery level is
while using a microdrive.

Using the Viewfinder for Recording
The illustrations below show what you see when you look
through the viewfinder to compose an image for recording.
Note that the focus range frame is valid for subjects that are
about three meters (9.8´) away. A different focus range is
used for subjects that are closer or farther away. Because of
this, you should use
to change to the Manual
Focus Mode (
) or Macro Mode( ) whenever the distance
between the camera and the subject is 50cm or less.
• The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever the
camera is in the Macro Mode. Use the monitor screen to
compose images in the Macro Mode.
