BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 5. After making sure that the image is focused properly, press the shutter release button the rest of the way down to record. • The number of images that can be stored in memory depends on the resolution setting you are using (page 164). Shutter release button • Press the shutter release button gently to avoid camera movement. Recording Precautions • Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera. • Never remove the memory card while an image is being recorded to the memory card. • Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems with recorded images. • When "Auto" is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 76), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause some static noise to appear in images of relatively dark subjects. • When recording a dimly lit subject while "Auto" is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 76), the camera increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 50). • If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens with your hand when recording the image. 45
