Snapshot Shooting Precautions
Operation
•Never open the battery cover while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can result in the image you just shot being saved incorrectly, damage to other images stored in memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.
•If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand.
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
•Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.
•The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 100).
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting
•Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an image.
Other Precautions
•Due to the characteristics of the camera’s semiconductor, slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise in images. The camera performs an automatic noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is 1 second or slower. Storage of images shot at slower shutter speeds takes longer because of the time required for noise reduction. Do not perform any key operation while the image storage operation is in progress.
•A noise reduction process is performed when ISO sensitivity is set to a high value. This can cause the camera to take relatively longer to be ready to shoot again after you press the shutter button. Do not perform any key operation while the image recording operation is in progress.
•Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast moving objects in an image may appear distorted.
