Basic Operations

Press the shutter release button lightly with the soft pad of your fingertip. Pressing the button roughly will result in camera shake. (See “Avoiding camera shake”  p.4-4.)

When the caution LED flashes rapidly before the picture is taken, this indicates that there is a risk of camera shake occurring. Place the camera on a steady surface (table, etc.) and use the self-timer or, depending on the subject, use the flash. (See “Avoiding camera shake” on p.4-4 and “Using the Flash” on p.4-2.)

When the caution LED flashes relatively slowly after the shot is taken, this indicates that the flash is charging. Wait until the LED goes off before taking the next shot. (See “Using the Flash”  p.4-2.)

When the card access LED is flashing, this indicates that the image is being recorded onto the memory card. Do not open the card/battery cover or remove the memory card while the LED is flashing as this could cause data corruption or, in some cases, camera damage.

You can take pictures while the card access LED is flashing.
