•If the focus and exposure cannot be set to proper values, the indicator blinks red following an error beep. (Auto focus error) In this case, the focus is locked to infinity (1.5 meters

when using the flash) and the exposure is locked to the closest value. When the flash does not fire with the Macro selected as the scene mode ( see page 31), the focus is locked at a point between 10 cm (Wide edge) and 27 cm (Tele edge).

Important

•When taking photographs, be careful not to interfere the lens, flash, or flashlight adjustment sensor with the strap or fingers.

•The indicator lights red while the SD card is being recorded. Never open the battery/SD card cover during this period. Neglecting this could damage the SD card or the data in the SD card.
