Using Focus Lock
Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on the object
that is inside the Auto Focus Frame. Focus lock is a tech-
nique that lets you lock the focus on a subject and then move
the camera so the Auto Focus Frame is pointed at another
subject when you record. This keeps the original subject in
focus, even though a different object is within the Auto Focus
Frame.
• The Auto Focus Frame is shown on the monitor screen
only while the shutter button is being held half way down.
• Locking the focus also locks the exposure setting.
1.
Align the Auto Focus
Frame with the subject
you want to lock on and
press the shutter button
half way down.
• The Auto Focus frame turns
green or white when the im-
age is in focus.

RECORDING
Using Quick Shutter
Pressing the shutter button sequentially records images at
0.5-second intervals (when flash is turned off). You can use
quick shutter for recording up to six normal images or five
Night Scene Mode images.
IMPORTANT!
• Note that you can use the viewfinder only (monitor
screen turned off) when recording images at a 0.5-
second interval. The interval is about one second
when the monitor screen is turned on.
• The power/card access lamp flashes while data is be-
ing written to the memory card. Never remove the
memory card from the camera while this lamp is flash-
ing.
• Do not perform an image record operation while the
low battery indicator “

result in failure of part of the image to be recorded.
• It takes about 60 seconds for six images to be stored
in memory.

RECORDING
IMPORTANT!
• Never use the flash in areas where combustible or ex-
plosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of
fire and explosion.
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operat-
ing a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the
driver’s vision and create the danger of accident.
• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye dam-
age if it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with
young children. When using the flash, the camera
should be at least one meter from the eyes of the sub-
ject.
• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or
light sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these
components and interfere with correct flash operation.
• Flash should be used for distances within the range of
about 0.7 meters to 2 meters (2.3´ to 6.6´). Flash does
not work well outside this range.
• Depending on operating conditions (type of battery
being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10
seconds for the flash unit to charge.
• The flash is disabled during movie, continuous, and
AEB recording. The
indicator flashes to indicate
this condition.
• The flash unit will not charge when battery power is
low. The
indicator flashes red to warn you that the
flash will not fire correctly, which may affect exposure
of the image. Replace batteries as soon as possible
when this happens.
• Red-eye reduction may not work well when the cam-
era is not pointed directly at the subject or when the
subject is far from the camera.
• In the Red-eye Reduction Mode, the flash is fired au-
tomatically in accordance with exposure. Because of
this, the flash will not fire in a well-lit area.
• White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so
the coloring of the recorded image may be affected by
sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illu-
mination in the immediate area.
