What if...
. . What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main
subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range. If the main subject moves, however,
the gray frames will disappear.
What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
What if the indicator blinks orange and
A
blinks on the screen?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.
.. What if the camera does not play any sounds?
Pressing the
DISP.
button while turning on the camera power will turn off all
sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the
MENU
button, choose the
fT
tab, and then choose [Mute]. Press the ~ ~ buttons to
choose [Off].
What if the indicator blinks orange, and [Raise the flash] appears on the screen?
Try raising the flash manually to shoot. The flash will automatically fire when
shooting.
What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Move the zoom lever toward
IillI
and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide
angle setting and you can shoot within the effective flash range of approximately 75
cm - 3.5 m (2.5 -11.5 ft.). Move the zoom lever toward
[tJ
and hold it until the lens
stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you can
shoot within the effective flash range of approximately 1.0 - 2.0 m (3.3 - 6.6 ft.).
What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
Your subject may be too close. Move the zoom lever toward
[ill]
and hold it until
the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting
and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 5 cm (2.0 in.) or more
away from the end of the lens. Move the zoom lever toward
[tJ
and hold it until
the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and
you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1 m (3.3 ft.) or more away
from the end of the lens.
