Recording pictures basic | Panasonic DMCFX7K, DMC-FX7PP instruction

Recording pictures (basic)

•When you press the shutter button, the screen may become bright for a moment. This function allows easy adjustment of focus and the recorded picture will not be affected.

•We recommend setting the clock again before taking pictures. (P18)

•When the time for power save is set (P21), the camera is automatically turned off if you do not operate it within the set time. When operating the camera again, press the shutter button or turn the camera off and on.

•In some cases, if the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the recordable range when you use the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication is lit.
