z If the icon appears, the AF frame displays in yellow, or the
orange or yellow lamp starts to blink when you press the shutter
button halfway, you can still shoot the image by pressing the
shutter button all the way down.
z Images are first saved into the camera’s internal memory before
being recorded onto the CF card, allowing the next images to be
taken immediately as long as sufficient space is available in the
internal memory.
z The beep and shutter sound can be set to On or Off using the
Mute option in the Set up menu.
z If the Mute option is on, the shutter will not make a sound even if
the shutter sound option is on.
z There is no shutter sound in Movie mode.
z Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.
AF-assist Beam
z
The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button
is pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e.
dark conditions.
z The AF-assist beam can be turned off (p. 49).
If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when shooting in
the dark to avoid startling them. However, please keep in mind
the following facts.
• Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more difficult for
the camera to focus, e.g. dark conditions.
• The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when you press the
shutter button halfway even if the AF-assist beam is turned off.
In order to prevent any lamp from emitting before the flash fires,
set both the red-eye reduction function and the AF-assist beam
to [Off] in the Shooting menu.
