Taking Pictures (Smart Auto)
What if...•What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main
subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range (p.84). If the main subject moves,
however, the gray frames will disappear.
•What if a flashing appears?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the
image.
•What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Move the zoom lever toward
j and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum
wide angle setting and you can shoot within the effective flash range of
approximately 50cm – 3.5 m (1.6 – 11 ft.).
Move the zoom lever toward i and hold it until the lens stops moving. The
camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you can shoot within the
effective flash range of approximately 90cm – 2.0 m (3.0 – 6.6 ft.).
•What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed
halfway?
Your subject may be too close. Move the zoom lever toward j and hold it until
the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting
and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 5cm (2 in.) or more
away from the end of the lens.
Move the zoom lever toward i and hold it until the lens stops moving. The
camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you will be able to focus
on subjects that are about 90cm (3.0 ft.) or more away from the end of the
lens.
•What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting
in dark areas.
•What if the h icon blinks when you try to shoot?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
