Taking Pictures

•a flashing appears?

Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.

•the camera does not play any sounds?

Pressing the l button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button, choose the 3 tab, and then choose [Mute]. Press the qr buttons to choose [Off].

•the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?

The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Shoot within the effective flash range of approximately 50 cm – 6.5 m (1.6 – 21 ft.) at maximum wide angle, and approximately 50 cm – 2.5 m (1.6 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto.

•the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway? Your subject is too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle, move about 5 cm (1.97 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about 30 cm (0.98 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto.

•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.

•the h icon blinks when you try to shoot?

The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
