BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

5.After making sure that the image is focused properly, press the shutter release button the rest of the way down to record.

•The recorded image is stored temporarily into buffer memory. After that, it is saved in the camera’s built-in flash memory or onto a memory card, if one is loaded in the camera. You can record consecutive Continuous Shutter images as long as there is still buffer memory available to store them.

Recording Precautions

• Never open the battery cover while the green operation

lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current im-

age to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in

camera memory and even lead to malfunction of the cam-

era.

• 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.

• The camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accor-

dance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause

some static noise to appear in images of relatively dark

subjects.

•The number of images that can be stored in memory depends on the resolution setting you are using (page 140).

•Press the shutter release button gently to avoid cam- era movement.

• For a dimly lit subject, the camera raises the sensitivity and

uses a faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to

guard against camera movement if you have flash turned

off ( ) when recording a dimly lit subject (page 46).
