Recording Precautions

• Never open the battery compartment cover or place the

camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation

lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current

camera.

• Never remove the memory card while an image is being

recorded to the memory card.

cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the

camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience

some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 78), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity

in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can

cause some static noise to appear in images of relatively

dark subjects.

• When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected

for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 78), the camera

increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.

Because of this, you need to guard against camera

movement if you have flash turned off (page 48).

• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens

with your hand when recording the image.
