Basic Photography During Recording While pictures are being recorded, the internal memory/memory card indicator ( or ) will blink. The camera can continue to take pictures until the (wait) icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while the internal memory/memory card indicator is blinking or the icon is displayed. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card. The AF-Assist Illuminator If lighting is poor, the built-in AF-assist illuminator will light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. The AF-assist illuminator has a range of about 0.4 m-2.0 m/ 1´4˝-6´7˝ (widest angle) to 1.0 m-1.5 m/3´3˝-4´11˝ (maximum zoom). The AF-assist illuminator will not light if: • (portrait assist), (landscape assist), (sports assist), or (night portrait assist) mode is selected or if (Dusk/Dawn), (Night landscape), (Close up), (Museum), or (Fireworks show) is selected in scene mode ( 24-37) • Manual is selected for AF-area mode ( 74) and the center focus area is not selected Getting Good Results with Autofocus Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage). Deleting Pictures in Shooting Mode In shooting mode, pictures can be deleted one at a time by pressing the button. A confirmation dialog will be displayed; press the multi selector up or down to highlight an option and press the center of the multi selector. • Yes: Delete the picture shown in the monitor and return to shooting mode • No: Return to shooting mode without deleting the picture ɹErase 1 image (s)?
