The shutter sounds. The image will be 
recorded in the “Memory Stick”. 
When operating the camera using a battery 
pack, if you do not operate the camera for about 
three minutes during recording or playback, the 
camera turns off automatically to prevent 
wearing down the battery (page 15). 
Auto Focus
When you try to shoot a subject that is 
difficult to focus on, the AE/AF lock 
indicator changes to flashing slowly.
The Auto Focus function may have 
difficulty working under the following 
conditions. In such cases, release the shutter 
button, then recompose the shot and focus 
again.
• The subject is distant from the camera 
and dark.
• The contrast between the subject and its 
background is poor.
• The subject is seen through glass, such as 
a window.
• A fast-moving subject.
• The subject reflects or has a lustrous 
finish, such as a mirror or a luminous 
body.
• A flashing subject.
