●! The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
✽When the LCD monitor is |
switched on, details of the warning |
are displayed on the monitor |
●! If the lens, flash or flash control sensor is obscured by your fingers or the camera strap, you may not be able to obtain the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.
●! Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the
24lens as described on P.93.
Use the LCD monitor or viewfinder to locate your subject in the frame.
●! To frame your shot precisely, you should take the picture using the LCD monitor.
●! In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in sunny weather outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes). In such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.
●! The flash charging time may increase when the battery charge gets lower.
●! Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed and varies depending on the subject (level of image detail, etc.), the number of available shots may not decrease after the image is recorded, or may decrease by 2.
