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 50 cm – 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 90 cm – 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 jand 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 5 cm (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 90 cm (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.
