General Notes on Still Photo Shooting
o
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense articial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera’s internal components.
o
Defocused image areas may be incomplete when shooting near maximum
aperture at high shutter speeds. If you dislike the appearance of defocused
image areas, shooting as follows may give better results.
• Lower the shutter speed.
• Increase the aperture value.
Image Quality
o
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding)
may become noticeable.
o
Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the
image.
o
Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause the camera’s internal
temperature to rise and a󰀨ect image quality. When you are not shooting,
always turn o󰀨 the camera.
o
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high,
image quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before
shooting again.

Shooting will not be possible again until the camera cools down internally, so
stop shooting temporarily or turn o󰀨 the camera and let it cool down a while.
