Still Images/Movies
● If the camera makes no operating sounds, it may have been
turned on while holding down [ ]. To activate sounds, press
the [
] button, choose [Mute] on the [ 3] tab, and then
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” (= 217).
● 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” (= 219).
● 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.
● No shutter sound is played when “Sleeping” and “Sleeping
Babies” icons (= 38) are displayed.
● 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
(= 54).
● Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [ ] mode, because
digest movies are recorded for each shot.
● A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image
immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [
] mode,
or operating the camera in other ways.
● Sounds and vibrations from operating the camera will be recorded
in digest movies.
● Digest movie image quality is automatically set to [ ] for
NTSC or [ ] for PAL and cannot be changed (= 170).
● Sounds are not played when you press the shutter button halfway
or trigger the self-timer (= 174).
● Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following
cases even if they were recorded on the same day in [
] mode.
- The digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB, or the
total recording time reaches approximately 16 minutes and
40 seconds.
- The digest movie is protected (= 121).
- Daylight saving time (= 20) or time zone (= 172) settings
are changed.
- A new folder is created (= 168).
● Recorded shutter sounds cannot be modified or erased.
● If you prefer to record digest movies without still images, adjust
the setting in advance. Choose MENU (= 30) ► [
7] tab ►
[Digest Type] ► [No Stills].
● Individual chapters can be edited (= 135).
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 (= 114).
