Shooting
●
The camera automatically turns off if it is not operated for about 10 minutes.
Press the
POWER
switch to turn on the camera.
●
Never remove the battery, card or AC adapter while the
mark 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.
●
When you point the lens toward a bright object, vertical lines (smears) may
appear on the monitor. However, this does not affect the actual recorded
pictures.
