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 onto the lens, block the light 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 104).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting

Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an image.

Other Precautions

The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.

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.
