Recording Precautions

the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is

flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to

be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file

recorded to the memory card.

camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience

some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 76), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity

in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can

cause some static noise to appear in images of relatively

dark subjects.

• When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected

for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 76), the camera

increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.

Because of this, you need to guard against camera

movement if you have flash turned off (page 50).

• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens

with your hand when recording the image.
