RECORDING
CAUTION
• Never open the battery compartment cover, discon-
nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the
adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indi-
cator is flashing green. Doing so will not only make
storage of the current image impossible, it can also
corrupt other image data already stored in camera
memory.
• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency
that cannot be detected by the human eye. When us-
ing the camera indoors under such lighting, you may
experience some brightness or color problems with
recorded images.
IMPORTANT!
Auto Focus tends not to work well with the following
types of subjects.
• Solid color walls or objects with little contrast
• Strongly backlit objects
• Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects
• Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating pat-
terns
• Multiple images that are varying distances from the
camera
• Subjects in poorly lit areas
• Auto Focus also may not work properly when the cam-
era is unsteady or shaking.
These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus
properly, which is indicated by the operation indicator and
the Auto Focus Frame inside the monitor screen remaining
red. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for fo-
cusing (page E-59). The following are the fixed focusing dis-
tances when Auto Focus is unable to focus.
Well-lit Location: 1.5 meters minimum
With Flash:
Approximately 2 meters
