Appendix
● You can change how long images are displayed after shots
(= 54).
Movies
● Keep your fingers away from the microphone (1) while recording
movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being
recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled.
● Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when
shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be
recorded.
● Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes
and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant
camera shake. To record subjects at the same size shown before
recording, follow the steps in “Recording Movies with Subjects at
the Same Size Shown before Recording” (= 53).
(1)
● Audio is recorded in stereo.
Digest Movie Playback
Display a still image shot in [ ] mode to play the digest movie created
on the same day, or specify the date of the digest movie to play (= 90).
Still Images/Movies
● If the camera makes no operating sounds, it may have been
turned on while holding down the [
] button. To activate
sounds again, press the [ ] button and choose [Mute] on
the [ ] tab, and then press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [Off].
Still Images
● A blinking [ ] 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 “Camera” (= 177).
● The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once
when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the
range of focus (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (= 178).
● To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit
when shooting in low-light conditions.
● A blinking [ ] 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 (= 36) are displayed.
● Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen
is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus,
brightness, and colors used.
