¬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 you use the optical finder, the actual recording range become wider than the viewable range of the viewfinder. This is caused by the difference of position of the optical finder and the lens. This is not a malfunction.

We especially recommend checking the recording range when you use the LCD monitor.

•When recording pictures within 1m of the subjects

•In Macro Mode (P54)

•When the digital zoom is activated. (P70)

•When you continuously take pictures in high temperatures, the recording interval may become longer due to the process to reduce picture noises.
