Taking Pictures (Cont’d)

●When you press the shutter halfway and the green LED flashes…

This may suggest that the focusing on the subject is difficult, and/or the subject is too dark. Should this be the case, please take the following steps.

•Check that you are not too close to the subject and then position the auto- focus mark over the subject. (See p.36 for information on shooting distances.)

•If the subject is too dark (such as a person in the shade), use the flash (pp.44-46).

•Use a similar subject, at the same distance and with the same brightness, to adjust the auto focus and exposure. After the focus lock is set, aim at your original subject and shoot your picture (p.41).

●About Auto Power Off Function

If you do not operate for a certain period of time with the camera power on and the lens cover open, the auto power off function (pause status) will be activated and power will be turned off (the lens retracts).

•When finished shooting, or if you are not going to take a picture for a long time, close the lens cover.

•The default auto power off time is set at three minutes.This can be changed in the set-up menu (p.119).

•When using an AC adapter, the auto power off function will be activated.

•Connecting the USB cable (p.122) disables the Auto Power Off function.
