•Flash mode (A26), macro mode (A29), and exposure compensation (A30) cannot be adjusted after the first picture is taken. The settings for the first picture are applied to all the subsequent pictures. Apply the appropriate settings before shooting begins.

•To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly, use fresh batteries.
