Recording pictures (basic)

∫Exposure

•If you press the shutter button halfway when the exposure is not adequate, the indication of the aperture value and the shutter speed turns red. (However, the aperture value and the shutter speed do not turn red when the flash is activated.)

•The brightness of the LCD monitor may differ from that of recorded pictures. The subject looks dark on the LCD monitor, but the actual picture is bright.

•When most of the subjects in the screen are bright (e.g. blue sky on a clear day, snowy field, etc.), the recorded pictures may become dark. In this case, compensate the exposure value on the camera. (P44)

•When you press the shutter button, the LCD monitor may become bright or dark for a moment. This function allows easy adjustment of focus and the recorded picture will not be affected.

•We recommend making sure the clock is set properly before taking pictures. (P23)

•The camera is automatically turned off if you do not operate it within the time set on [POWER SAVE]. (P24)

When operating the camera again, press the shutter button halfway or turn the camera off and on.

•In some cases, if the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the recordable range when you use the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication is lit.
