BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

IMPORTANT!

To ensure proper operation of the orientation sensor, note the following points.

Keep the camera still during recording. Moving the camera while recording can cause miss- operation of the orientation sensor.

When recording an image using portrait (vertical) orientation, make sure the camera is standing straight up, 90 degrees from horizontal. A sensor error may occur if the camera is angled more than about 20 degrees from vertical.

When positioning the camera vertically, keep the flash above the lens.

Miss-operation of the orientation sensor can also occur if the camera is angled towards the front or back. A sensor error may occur if the camera is angled more than about 60 degrees towards the front or back.
