BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
Hints for taking pictures
Muting the operation sounds
i The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the still image
shooting button, MENU button or SET button is pressed, as well as the
audio guidance when you switch the mode, can be muted (page 123).
Where is the image and audio data saved?
i All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the
camera.
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...
i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to
the characteristics of the lens, 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.
While the image data is being recorded...
i While the multi-indicator is flashing red, the image data is being written to
the memory, during which time it is not possible to capture another image.
Another image can be captured after the flashing red indicator turns off.
However, even when the multi-indicator is flashing red, depending on the
camera's internal memory remaining capacity, in some cases the next
image can be captured about 2 seconds after shooting.
Checking the last image shot (instant review)
i After shooting a picture, you can immediately view it by pressing the SET
button once.
i During instant review of a video clip, normal play, reverse play and pause,
etc. are available (page 44).
i If you wish to delete the image (for a video clip, it must be in the pause or
stop mode), toggle the SET button up to access the delete function.
i You can view other images while the instant review display is showing by
toggling the SET button to the left or right.
i Cancel the instant review display by toggling the SET button down.
