the actual recordable range. To confirm the
recordable range, use the LCD screen.
• For a detailed description of the indicators, see

LCD screen, when the AE/AF lock lamp of the
finder section stops flashing and remains on,
you can start shooting (page 21).
• When the LCD screen is turned off, the smart
zoom does not function (page 23).
• When the LCD screen is turned off, the AF
Mode is set to [Single] (page 43).
• If you press (Flash mode)/ (Self-timer)/
(Macro) with the LCD screen turned off,
the image will be displayed on the screen for
approximately two seconds so you can check or
change the setting.
• For a detailed description of the histogram, see
