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 (40") from the eyes of the

subject.

• 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 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.

RECORDING

IMPORTANT!

• Do not apply excessive force when rotating the lens

body. Doing so can cause serious damage to the lens.

• Do not carry the camera or move it around while hold-

ing onto only the lens body.

• Return the lens body to its normal position (with the

lens pointing from the front of the camera) before stor-

ing the camera.

ton is pressed (in the Re-

memory

• Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the

lens is pointed from the back of the camera are stored as

mirror images of the image that appears in the LCD before

the shutter button is pressed.

Changing the Lens Orientation

The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is de-

signed to rotate. This means you can change the angle of

the lens without moving the rest of the camera.

RECORDING

Resolution Settings

The camera has four resolution modes: SUPER FINE ( ),

FINE (

), NORMAL ( ), ECONOMY ( ).

• To determine the number of images that can be stored on a

memory card of a different capacity, multiply the capacities

in the table by the appropriate value.

• The actual number of images that can be stored in memory

cannot be specified precisely because the amount of

memory required for storage of each image differs accord-

ing to image contents.

• Numbers in parentheses are compressed image file sizes.

• The figures in the left are approximations only. The actual

number of images depends on image subject matter.

Use the procedure under “Using the Record Menu” on

page 59 for details on changing the resolution modes.

• Note that the maximum number of images that can be

stored in a single folder is 250. Because of this, even if you

are using a card that allows storage of more than 250 im-

ages, the camera’s monitor screen will show capacity for

up to 250 images only. You will be able to store the addi-

tional images by changing to another folder.

• The number of images that can be recorded may be less

when HTML file generation is turned on (page 114).
