• Do not turn this unit off, remove its battery or card, or disconnect the AC adaptor 
(DMW-AC5PP; optional) when the access indication is lit [when pictures are being 
written, read or deleted, or the built-in memory or the card is being formatted]. 
Furthermore, do not subject the camera to vibration, impact or static electricity.
The card or the data on the card may be damaged, and this unit may no longer 
operate normally.
If operation fails due to vibration, impact or static electricity, perform the 
operation again.
When the camera identifies the optimum scene, the icon of the scene concerned is 
displayed in blue for 2 seconds, after which its color changes to the usual red.
• [
¦
] is set if none of the scenes are applicable, and the standard settings are set.
• If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is minimal when 
the Scene mode has been identified as [
], the shutter speed will be set to a maximum of 
8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.
∫ Face detection
When [
] or [
] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person’s face, and it will 
adjust the focus and exposure.
Note
• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be 
identified for the same subject.
– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, The size of the 
subject, The distance to the subject, The contrast of the subject, 
When the subject is moving, When zoom is used
– Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness 
conditions, When the camera is shaken
• To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the 
appropriate Recording mode.
∫ The Backlight Compensation
Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject.
In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by 
brightening the whole of the picture automatically. 
Press the shutter button fully (push it in 
further), and take the picture.
• The access indication lights red when pictures are 
being recorded on the built-in memory (or the card).
