Panasonic DMC FS7G Digital Still Camera - Page 43

Advanced (Recording pictures) • Macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet) it takes longer to focus on it. • When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction. • The image quality when recording in [MACRO ZOOM] is poorer than during normal recording. • The extended optical zoom will not function when [MACRO ZOOM] is set.

In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P66) to allow the camera to focus on the subject. • We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer. • The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3. • The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] in Scene mode is fixed to 5. • Self-timer cannot be set to 2 seconds in Intelligent auto mode. • Self-timer cannot be set to 10 seconds in [SELF PORTRAIT] in Scene mode. • Self-timer cannot be used while in [HI-SPEED BURST] in Scene mode.
