Recording Precautions

While the operation lamp is flashing green, never open the battery cover or place the camera onto or remove it from the USB cradle. 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 120), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause some digital noise (graininess) to appear in images of relatively dark subjects.
