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.

You can change how long images are displayed after shots

the microphone when shooting a movie.
Leaving the flash raised, or blocking
the microphone may prevent audio
from being recorded or may cause the
recording to sound muffled.
Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes and
subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant camera
shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting,
adjust the image stabilization setting
