ƈ The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and
camera settings.

In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change to
flash shot mode.
ƈ Shooting against the light :
Do not take pictures into the sun. Taking a picture against the sun may make the
picture dark. To take a picture against the sun, please use the [Backlight] in the
scene shooting mode (see page 19), fill-in flash (see page 26), spot metering
(see page 31), or exposure compensation (see page 33).

- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.
- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.
- If the subject is moving at high speed.
- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.

Things to watch out for when taking pictures
Focus lock
ƈ To focus on a subject not positioned in the centre of the picture, use the focus
lock function.
ƃ Using the Focus Lock
1. Ensure the subject is in the centre of the autofocus frame.
2. Press the SHUTTER button halfway. When the green auto focus frame lights
up, it means the camera is focused on the subject. Be careful not to press the
SHUTTER button all the way down to avoid taking an unwanted picture.
3. With the SHUTTER button still pressed down only halfway, move the camera
to recompose your picture as desired, and then press the SHUTTER button
completely to take the picture. If you release your finger from the SHUTTER
button, the focus lock function will be cancelled.
