•
Some Scene Mode scenes cannot be used while recording a video.
•
The Voice REC scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording a

•
Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed
setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the
photo, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when
either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the
photo to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not
perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to
avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
•

Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the photo. This operation causes the
camera to take longer than normal to save the photo and be ready for the next
shot.
