D Cautions: Taking Photographs
• You may notice the following in the shooting display. These
phenomena will also be visible in any photos taken with the camera:
- flicker or banding in scenes lit by such sources as fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps,
- distortion during motion (individual subjects such as trains or cars
moving at high speed through the frame may be distorted, or the
entire frame may appear distorted when the camera is panned
horizontally),
- jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, or bright spots, or
- bright regions or bands in scenes lit by flashing signs and other
intermittent light sources or when the subject is briefly illuminated
by a strobe or other bright, momentary light source.
• Note that noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) and
unexpected colors may appear if you use the X button to zoom in on
the view through the lens.
• Avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other powerful light sources
during shooting. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.
