LED Displays after Shooting
When the caution LED and card access LED flash after shooting, the messages to be noted
are as follows:
For the LED display, see page 99
If the card access LED flashes after shooting, the images are being recorded into the
memory card.
Do not open the memory card door or remove the memory card. Doing so may cause
damage to the data. (You can take pictures while LEDs flash after shooting.)
If the caution LED flashes after shooting, the flash is being charged. Wait until the caution
LED goes before taking the next picture.

When the shutter release button is
pressed, it will stop partway in its travel.

shooting. When the shutter release
button is fully depressed, the picture is
taken and recorded.
