NOTE

•Moving the camera as you press the shutter button or while the Auto Focus operation is being performed (when you press the shutter button half way) can cause blurring of the image. Press the shutter button carefully, taking care to avoid camera movement. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.

Recording an Image (Snapshot Mode)

Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera’s built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera.

•When an optionally available SD memory card or MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the camera, images are stored on the card (page 175).

After purchasing a memory card, be sure to load it into the camera and format it before trying to use it (page 178).
