monitor after shooting, or set it so they do
not show at all (p. 36).
If the indicator blinks orange or yellow while
you press the shutter button halfway, you
can still press fully to take the shot.
Images are first saved into the camera's
internal memory before being recorded onto
the memory card, allowing the next images
to be taken immediately as long as
sufficient space is available in the internal
memory.
The beep and shutter sound can be set [On/
Off] in the [Set up] menu (p. 70).
Even when the shutter sound is set to [
, (On)] (p. 74), no sound will be
heard if [Mute] is set to [On].
There is no shutter sound in movie mode.
Shots cannot be taken while the flash is
charging.
