¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

•When brightness has changed due to the zoom or the movement of the camera, the lens may click and the picture on the screen may be drastically changed. However, the pictures are not affected.

The sound is caused by automatic adjustment of the aperture. It is not a malfunction.

•When pressing the shutter button, the screen may become bright or whitish for a moment. However, the recorded picture will not be influenced. This function make it easy to adjust the focus.

•We recommend setting the clock again before taking pictures. (P21)

•When the time for power save is set (P24), the camera is automatically turned off if you do not operate within the set time. When operating the camera again, press the shutter button or turn the camera off and on.

•When economy mode (P25) is set and if you do not use the camera, the LCD monitor turns off in 15 seconds. (The LCD monitor turns on when pressing any button.)
