SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
■ Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image
composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality
set for the image quality setting.
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen
response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor
screen image.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but
will be recorded in the case of a movie.
■ Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent
Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the
brightness or color of an image.
