SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Snapshot Shooting Precautions
■ Operation
• Never open the battery cover while the operation lamp is
flashing green. Doing so can result in incorrect storage of the
image you just shot, damage to other images stored in
memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.
• If unneeded light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the
lens with your hand when shooting an image.
■ Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image
composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality
set for the image quality setting.
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen
response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor
screen image.
■ Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent
Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the
brightness or color of an image.
