Still Images/Movies
• If the camera is turned on while the <p> 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].
Still Images
• 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” (= 114).
• 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” (= 114).
• 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.
• 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 (= 58).
Movies
• The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly
over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.
• Keep your ngers away from the
microphone while shooting movies.
Blocking the microphone may prevent
audio from being recorded or may
cause the recording to sound mufed.
• Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.

subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of signicant camera
shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting,
adjust the image stabilization setting (= 59).
