Canon PowerShot G9 X User Guide

●

You can change how long images are displayed after shots 
(= 54).

 

●

Before movie recording, lower the flash with your finger. During 
recording, keep your fingers away from the microphone (1). 
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 
recording 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, set Dynamic IS to [Low] (= 52).

●

Audio is recorded in stereo.

 

●

Distorted audio caused by recording when the wind is strong can 
be reduced. However, the recording may sound unnatural when 
this option is used when there is no wind. When the wind is not 
strong, choose MENU (= 29) ► [

7] tab ► [Wind Filter] ► 

[Off] (= 70).

 

●

During movie recording, lens operating noises from auto focusing 
may also be recorded.

Display a still image shot in [

] mode to play the digest movie created 

on the same day, or specify the date of the digest movie to play (= 106).

 

●

If the camera makes no operating sounds, it may have been 
turned on while holding down the [

] button. To activate 

sounds, press the [

] button, choose [Mute] on the [ 3] 

tab, and then choose [Off].

 

●

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 “Camera” (= 204).

 

●

The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once 
when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the 
range of focus (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (= 205).

 

●

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit 
when shooting in low-light conditions.

 

●

A blinking [ ] 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.

 

●

No shutter sound is played when “Sleeping” and “Sleeping 
Babies” icons (= 37) are displayed.

 

●

Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen 
is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, 
brightness, and colors used.
