Still Images
•
A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take
other measures to keep it still.
• If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the
subject. For details on the flash range, see "Flash Range"
•
The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when
you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing
range (shooting range), see "Shooting Range"
•
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
•
A blinking [h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates
that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging.
Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press
the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press
it again.
•
Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is
displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness,
and colors used.
