• Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is pressed
hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred.
• Recorded pictures will be saved on the card regardless of whether the
camera is turned off or the battery is replaced or removed.
• Do not open the card cover, remove the battery or connect/disconnect the
AC adapter while the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy
stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
• When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in
shadow may appear colored.
