Shooting in Smart Auto Mode

A blinking hicon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.

The flash firing during shots indicates that the camera has automatically attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main subject and background (Multi- area White Balance).

Movies

Microphone

Before shooting a movie, lower the flash

 

with your finger. Be careful not to touch

 

the microphone when shooting a movie.

 

Leaving the flash raised, or blocking the

 

microphone may prevent audio from

 

being recorded or may cause the

 

recording to sound muffled.

Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded.

To correct suboptimal image color that may occur in movie shooting (p. 64) after you recompose shots, press the movie button to stop recording, and then press it again to resume recording.

Audio is recorded in stereo.
