Still Images

•A flashing [] icon warns that images are more likely

to be blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.

•If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the subject. For details on the flash range, see Flash

Range (=323).

•The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing range (shooting range), see Shooting Range (=323).

•To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be activated when shooting in low-light conditions.

•A blinking [h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.

•You can change how long images are displayed after shots (=95).
