A Taking Pictures

•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.

Scene Icons

The camera displays an icon for the scene it has determined and then automatically focuses and selects the optimum settings for subject brightness and color.

* Displays when the camera is attached to a tripod.

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).
