StillImages/Movies
•If the camera is turned on while the <l> button is held down,
the camera will no longer sound. To activate sounds again, press
the <n> button and choose [Mute] on the [3] tab, and then
press the <q><r> buttons to choose [Off].
StillImages
•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 ash ring, move closer to the
subject. For details on the ash range, see “Flash Range” (=
190).
•The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when
you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing
range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (=
190).
•To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
•A blinking [h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that
shooting is not possible until the ash has nished recharging. Shooting
can resume as soon as the ash is ready, so either press the shutter
button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.
•The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies
(Sleeping) icons (=
32) are displayed.
•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 (=
51).
Movies
•The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly
over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.
•Before shooting a movie, lower the ash
with your nger. Be careful not to touch
the microphone when shooting a movie.
Leaving the ash raised, or blocking
the microphone may prevent audio
from being recorded or may cause the
recording to sound mufed.
•Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
shooting 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 signicant camera
shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting,
adjust the image stabilization setting (=
83).
• 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 (=
24) >
[4] tab > [Wind Filter] > [Off].
