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" (=161). • 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" (=161). • 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 (=40). Cover Movies Microphone • Before shooting a movie, lower the flash with your finger. Be careful not to touch the microphone when shooting a movie. Leaving the flash raised, or 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, a smaller image display area is shown, with the subject enlarged. This change is due to rotational image stabilization. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting, adjust the image stabilization setting (=67). • Audio is recorded in stereo. • Distorted audio caused by recording when the wind is strong can be reduced. However, the recording may sound unnatural when this option is used when there is no wind. When the wind is not strong, press the button, choose [Wind Filter] on the [4] tab, and then choose [Off] (=23).
