BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

About the REC Mode Monitor Screen

•The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual image is recorded in accordance with the image quality setting currently selected on your camera. The image saved in file memory has much better resolution and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.

•Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down, which causes some static noise in the monitor screen image.

Recording Precautions

•Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the operation/flash charge lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.

•Never remove the memory card while an image is being recorded to the memory card.

•Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that 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 70), 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 “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 70), the camera raises the sensitivity and uses a faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 47) when recording a dimly lit subject.

•If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens with your hand when recording the image.
