Taking Pictures NOTE • Never open the Card compartment cover, eject the card, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adapter while the Card access lamp is blinking. This may disturb the image storing and destroy the data on the card. • When the batteries run out while taking pictures, the power may turn E off. If lights, the picture just taken was not recorded properly. Replace the batteries and take the picture again. • The LCD monitor cannot be used as a viewfinder. • The ON/OFF button does not function while the Card access lamp is blinking. When you turn the Mode dial to , the mode is switched to Playback mode after the Card access lamp goes out. • Images cannot be taken if card capacity is full. If you try, the Memory scale and the Number of remaining pictures blink and camera rejects your operation. Hard-to-(Auto)Focus Subjects Although the autofocus can lock on virtually any subject, the Camedia C-2500L cannot bring the following subjects into focus. In such cases, the green lamp inside the viewfinder blinks and the shutter release button is disabled. In some cases, the shutter release button will respond to touch, but the image will be out-of-focus. In these situations, use either the quick-focus feature or take the picture as explained under each example. 1 1 Subjects of low contrast First lock focus (P. 18) on something of recognizable contrast which is the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to photo- graph, and then point the camera at the subject and take your picture. 2 2 Subjects immersed in very bright light First lock focus (P. 18) on an object with recognizable contrast which is in the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to photo- graph, and then point the camera at the subject and take your picture. 3 3 Subjects without vertical lines Hold the camera vertically and lock the focus, and then set it horizontal to take a picture. 4 4 Two subjects at different distances from the camera If the subjects you want to photograph appear out-of-focus, lock focus on something the same distance from the camera as the subjects you want to photograph, and then point the camera at the subjects and take your picture. 5 5 Fast-moving objects Before taking the picture, lock on something the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to photograph, and then point the camera at the subject and take your picture.
