While the AE lock indicator z (green) is flashing, the image freezes momentarily, but is not yet recorded. When the camera finishes the automatic adjustments*, the AE lock indicator z lights up and the camera is ready for recording.

Notes

While the image is being recorded on the “Memory Stick,” do not shake or strike the camera. Also, do not turn the power off, or remove the battery pack or “Memory Stick.”

When recording a bright subject, the LCD screen color may change after AE lock, but this does not affect the recorded image.
