Things to Watch Out for When Taking Pictures

[Lightly press the shutter button]

[Press the shutter button]

The available memory capacity may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings.

When the Flash Off, Slow synchro mode, or DIS mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( Ã) may appear on the LCD screen. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change to ﬂash shot mode.

It is best to take pictures with the sun behind you. Taking pictures with the sun behind the subject may make the picture come out dark. To take a picture against the light, please use [Backlight] in scene shooting mode (see page 25), ﬁll-in ﬂash (see page 36), spot metering (see page 48), exposure compensation (see page 41), or the ACB function (see page 51).

Avoid obstructing the lens or the ﬂash when you capture an image. Compose the image by using the LCD screen.

Under certain conditions, the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

-When photographing a subject that has little contrast.

-If the subject is highly reﬂective or shiny.

-If the subject is moving at high speed.

-When there is strong reﬂected light, or when the background is very bright.

-When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or ﬂagpole).

-When the surroundings are dark.
