i All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the
camera.
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...

phenomenon) may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is
recommended that you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from
behind. In this situation, it is recommended that you avoid taking pictures

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.

button once.
i During instant review of a video clip, normal play, reverse play and pause
are available (page 58).

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.
