Movies
● Keep your ngers away from the microphone (1) while recording
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
recording movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
● Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes
and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of signicant
camera shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before
shooting, follow the steps in “Recording Movies with Subjects at
the Same Size Shown before Shooting” (
=
37).
● Individual movies that exceed 4 GB may be divided into multiple
les. Automatic playback of divided movie les one after another
is not supported. Play each movie separately.
● The camera may use a slower shutter speed under low-light
conditions. Slower shutter speeds reduce image noise (Auto slow
shutter).
If you prefer smoother movies that are less affected by subject
shake, set [Auto slow shutter] to [Disable] in
mode, but note
that they may be darker (
=
48).

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.
● The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once
when you press the shutter button halfway.
● To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit
when shooting in low-light conditions.
● A blinking [
] 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
(
