Still Images/Movies

To activate the screen when the camera is on but the screen is

blank (when display is set to the viewfinder), press the <

l>

button repeatedly.

To restore camera sound if you have accidentally deactivated it

(by holding the <

l> button down while turning the camera on),

n> button and choose [Mute] on the [3] tab, and

then press the <

q><r> buttons to choose [Off].

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 “Specifications”

(

= 274).

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 “Specifications” (

= 274).

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.

The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and

Babies (Sleeping) icons (

= 51) are displayed.

The flash firing during shots indicates that the camera has automatically

attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main subject and background

(Multi-area White Balance).
