A Taking Pictures
26
•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 take an image?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
•The camera makes a slight noise when you tilt it?
This is the sound of the lens moving. This is not a malfunction.

Under certain conditions, the icon that displays may not match the actual
scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a
wall for example), or the “Blue Skies” icons may appear and it may
not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this happens, try
shooting in the G mode (p.70).
