Notes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory
card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the
camera or the memory card.

The Auto Off Function
When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera
enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after
remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation
such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

When Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off )
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the
setup menu (A120) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Flash
In situations where a flash is needed, such as in
dark locations or when the subject is backlit,
move the K (flash pop-up) control to raise
the flash.
When the shooting screen is displayed, you
can press the multi selector H (m) to set
the flash mode. To set the flash to always
fire, select m (fill flash).
When not using the flash, gently push to
lower the flash until it clicks shut.
Recording Movies
Display the shooting screen and press the b (e
movie-record) button to start recording a movie. Press
the b (e) button again to end recording.
