Press the shutter button gently. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred.

Never open the battery compartment/card cover, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adapter while the lamp on the camera is blinking red. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.

Recorded pictures are saved on the card regardless of whether the camera is turned off or the battery is replaced or removed.

When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in shadow may appear colored.
