Focus indicator

Flash lamp

While pictures are being recorded, the internal memory / memory card indicator (

 

or 

) will blink.  The camera can continue to take pictures until the    (wait) icon is 

displayed.  Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or dis-
connect the power source while the internal memory / memory card indicator is 
blinking or the   icon is displayed.  Cutting power or removing the memory card in 
these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

If lighting is poor, the built-in AF-assist illuminator will light 
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing 
the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit (
