focus on (dark, poor contrast) or the subject may be extremely close. Release the shutter

button, then focus again.

The number of images you can record on a “Memory Stick”

See pages 46 and 48 to 52.

Notes

•When recording a bright subject, the LCD screen color may change after AE/AF lock, but this

does not affect the recorded image.

•When you press the shutter button fully down at once in step 2, the camera starts recording

after the automatic adjustment is complete. However, the recording cannot be carried out while

the /CHG lamp (page 21) is flashing. (During this ti me, the camera is charging the flash. )

Hold the camera so that your fingers do not block the flash and do not touch the lens

portion when recording images.

3Press the shutter button fully down.

The shutter sounds.

“RECORDING” appears on the LCD screen, and the im age will be recorded on

the “Memory Stick.” When “RECORDING” disappears, you can re cord the

next image.
