ƒ Taking Pictures • The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting? Your subject is too far away. When you have pressed j so that the camera is at maximum wide angle, your shooting range is 30 cm - 3.2 m (1.0 - 10 ft.). Your shooting range is about 30 cm - 2.0 m (1.0 - 6.6 ft.) when you have pressed i and the camera is at maximum telephoto. • The camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway? Your subject is too close. When you have pressed j so that the camera is at maximum wide angle, move about 3 cm (1.2 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about 30 cm (1.0 ft.) or more away when you have pressed i and the camera is at maximum telephoto. • The lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway. To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas. • The h icon blinks when you try to take an image? When flash recharging begins, the flash icon will blink. You will be able to shoot once charging is complete. Scene Icons The camera displays an icon for the scene it has determined and then automatically focuses and selects the optimum settings for subject brightness and color. Background Subject Bright Including Blue Skies Backlit Sunsets Backlit Dark When Using Tripod People - * Subjects Other Than People * Landscapes Close Subjects - - Icon Background Color Gray Light Blue * Displays when the camera is attached to a tripod. Orange Dark Blue Under certain conditions, the icon that displays may not match the actual scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a wall for example), or the "Blue Skies" icons may appear and it may not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this happens, try shooting in the G mode (p. 68). While underwater, it is recommended to use the Underwater scene mode (p. 58). 28
