Images are first saved into the camera's internal memory before being recorded onto the CF card, allowing the next images to be taken immediately as long as sufficient space is available in the internal memory. The upper indicator blinks green while data is recorded onto the CF card. The beep and shutter sound can be set to [On]/ [Off] using the menu (p. 68). Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging. You can change the length of time images show on the LCD monitor after shooting, or set it so they do not show at all (p. 34). AF-assist Beam The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e. dark conditions. The AF-assist beam can be turned off (p. 67). For example, if animals are your subject, turn off the beam when shooting in the dark to 32 2. Shooting-The Basics avoid startling them. However, please keep in mind the following facts. - Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more difficult for the camera to focus. - The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when you press the shutter button halfway even if the AF-assist beam is turned off. In order to prevent any lamp from emitting before the flash fires, set both the red-eye reduction function and the AF-assist beam to [Off] in the Shooting menu.
