Notes:

•Recording under insufficient lighting may result in blurred images. It is recommended that you use a tripod to record insufficiently illuminated subjects.

•Set the SOUND menu item to “OFF” to turn off the focus locking sound.

•To capture clearer still images of still life picture, set the MOTION menu item to “OFF” (see page 36).

Caution:

•Do not turn the power off while the S indicator is flashing in step 8.
