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 “Flash

Range” (

=

258

).

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

“Shooting Range” (

=

259

).

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.

Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen

is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus,

brightness, and colors used.

You can change how long images are displayed after shots

(

=

76

).
