Panasonic DMC-F1PP - Manual (Page 26)

Recording images (basic)
26
• If you do not press the shutter button halfway, shutter jiggle may occur or the focus may not
be adjusted properly.
• Even when the focus indication is displayed and the focus is properly adjusted, it will be
cancelled if you release the shutter button.
Press the button halfway again.
• When power saving time is set, if you do not operate the camera for a while, it is
automatically turned off at the set time. To operate the camera again, press the shutter
button or turn the power switch first to [OFF] and then to [ON]. (P73)
• The brightness of the LCD Monitor may differ from that of the recorded pictures. In
particular, when taking pictures in dark places with a long time exposure, darkness appears
on the LCD Monitor, but the recorded pictures are bright.
• If the exposure is not properly set, the color of the aperture value and the shutter speed on
the LCD monitor becomes red.
• In the following cases, the focus may not be adjusted properly.
1 Recording a scene including subjects both near and far
2 Recording a scene through dirty glass
3 Recording an illuminated subject
4 Recording in a dark place
5 Recording moving subject
6 Recording a subject with a little contrast
7 Recording with shutter jiggle
• We recommend that you set the clock setting again before taking pictures.
• When the brightness of the LCD monitor changes such as while zooming or panning, you
may hear a click sound from the lens or the image on the LCD monitor may change
suddenly; this is not a malfunction. The sound is caused by the camera automatically
adjusting the aperture value.
• When pressing the shutter button in low light/dark conditions, the LCD monitor display may
become bright or whitish. However, the recorded picture will not be influenced. This function
make it easy to adjust the focus.
About shutter jiggle
• Be careful to prevent shutter jiggle when you press the shutter button.
• When the shutter jiggle can easily occur, the shutter jiggle alert
1 appears.
• We recommend you use a tripod when the shutter jiggle alert appears.
