BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

Hints for taking pictures

Muting the camera sounds

i

The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the shutter 
button, MENU button or SET button is pressed, can be muted (page 89).

Where is the image data saved?

i

All the image and sound data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory 
or on the card installed in the camera.

i

When a card is installed in the camera, the data is recorded on the card. If 
no card is installed, the data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory.

Taking pictures in backlight conditions...

i

When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to 
the characteristics of the CCD, light lines or ghost patterns (flare 
phenomenon) may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is 
recommended that you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from 
behind.
