RECORDING

IMPORTANT!

Auto Focus tends not to work well with the following types of subjects.

Solid color walls or objects with little contrast

Strongly backlit objects

Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects

Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating pat- terns

Multiple images that are varying distances from the camera

Subjects in poorly lit areas

Auto Focus also may not work properly when the cam- era is unsteady or shaking.

These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus properly, which is indicated by the operation indicator and the Auto Focus Frame inside the monitor screen remaining red. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for focusing (page E-59). The following are the fixed focusing distances when Auto Focus is unable to focus.

CAUTION

Never open the battery compartment cover, discon- nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indi- cator is flashing green. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory.

Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be detected by the human eye. When us- ing the camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

Well-lit Location: 1.5 meters minimum

With Flash:

Approximately 2 meters
