conditions. The camera fires the AF-assist
illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing.
Note that the effective range decreases for
telephoto shots.

have difficulty focusing in some conditions.

Even though there is no danger to safety, do not expose it
directly in someone’s eyes from a short distance.

The camera focuses most easily when a picture is taken at a
distance of around 4 m (13.1 ft.) with wide-angle and 2.3 m
(7.5 ft.) with telephoto.

■Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Cardformatted on the camera. The larger the
xD-Picture Cardcapacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,
the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
