We recommend to fix the camera by using a tripod, when shooting
subjects in dark places using the flash-off mode, night scene flash
mode, or red-eye reduction night scene flash mode.
Spot marks
Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Exposure mode.
In this mode, the camera warns
you before you shoot if camera
shake is likely to cause blurring.
Also, when there is significant
camera shake, this mode helps
reduce blurring.
If the green and orange
lamps blink alternately when
you hold the camera, it
means that the camera is
shaking and blurring may
result. Hold the camera
securely until the lamps stop
blinking; then press the
shutter release button.

area where you want to measure
the light.
Press the shutter release button

focus and exposure are locked on that
