Note
If the focus and exposure cannot be set to proper values, the indicator blinks red following
an error beep. (Auto focus error) In this case, the focus is locked to infinity (1.5 meters
when using the flash) and the exposure is locked to the closest value. When the flash
does not fire with the Macro selected as the scene mode (
see page 31), the focus is
locked at a point between 10 cm (Wide edge) and 27 cm (Tele edge).

When taking photographs, be careful not to interfere the lens, flash, or flashlight
adjustment sensor with the strap or fingers.
The indicator lights red while the SD card is being recorded. Never open the battery/SD
card cover during this period. Neglecting this could damage the SD card or the data in the
