While the image is being recorded on a disc, the ACCESS lamp lights. When this lamp is lit, do not shake or strike the camera. Also, do not turn the power off, not remove the battery pack/disc, or not open the disc cover. Otherwise, an image data breakdown may occur or the disc may become unusable.

Notes

You can delete images recorded on a disc, however, even if you delete images, the disc remaining space does not increase.

When recording bright subjects, the color of the LCD screen or the viewfinder may change after the AE is locked, however, this will not affect the recorded image.

After you change the disc, it may take about ten seconds to get ready for recording.

Recording images with the viewfinder

Adjust the viewfinder adjustment lever until the image appears clearly within the viewfinder, then record the image.
