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” (= 141).

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” (= 142).

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

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 
(= 40).

 

●

When you recompose shots, the 

focus, brightness, and colors will be 

automatically adjusted.

Press the movie button again to stop 

recording. The camera beeps twice as

If the camera is turned on while the [ ] button is held down, the 
camera will no longer sound. To activate sounds again, press the 
[

] button and choose [Mute] on the [ ] tab, and then 

press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [Off].
