Recording pictures (basic)
31
• In the following cases, the camera
cannot focus on subjects properly in
Programme AE mode.
–When including both near and
distant subjects in a scene
–When there is dirt on the glass
between the lens and the subject
–When there are illuminated or
glittering objects around the subject
–When taking a picture in a dark place
–When the subject moves fast
–When the scene is poor in contrast
–When jitter occurs
–When recording a very bright subject
We recommend taking pictures using
manual focus (P63), prefocus (P64) or
AF/AE lock.
• Even if the focus indication appears
and the subject is focused, it is
cancelled when you release the
shutter button. Press the shutter
button halfway again.
ª Exposure
• If the exposure is not adequate, the
indication of the aperture value and
the shutter speed on the screen turns
red. (However, the aperture value and
the shutter speed do not turn red when
the flash is activated.)
• The brightness of the screen may
differ from that of recorded pictures. In
particular, when taking pictures in dark
places with slow shutter, the subject
looks dark on the screen, but the
actual picture is bright.
• When most of the subjects in the
screen are bright (e.g. blue sky on a
clear day, snowy field, etc.), the
recorded pictures may become dark.
In this case, compensate the
exposure. (P39)
ª Jitter (camera shake)
• When jitter could occur, the jitter alert
1 appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you
cannot use a tripod, be careful of how
you hold the camera. (P30)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing
the shutter button.
ª Care for the camera
• Check to make sure there is no stain
or dirt on the lens.
• Do not touch the lens directly.
• Do not cause impact to the lens or
lens barrel.
• When turning the camera on in the
recording mode, the lens barrel comes
out. Check to make sure there are no
obstacles in front of the lens.
• Take care not to touch or stain the
surface of the lens. When the lens
becomes dirty or dust attaches to the
lens, check if the lens is retracted, use
a commercial blower brush to remove
dust or dirt and wipe the lens with a
dry, soft cloth. If you use solvents such
as benzine, alcohol or thinner, the
camera may be discoloured or broken.
• When using the camera in a sandy or
dusty place, be careful not to let dirt,
grit or seawater come into the camera.
