shooting, such as the brightness.

twice and the indicator will light green.

X The camera plays the shutter sound and
takes the shot.
● Since the shot is being taken while the
shutter sound plays, be careful not to
move the camera.
• Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take,
the length of the shutter sound may change.
• If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded
image may be blurry.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Does the length of the shutter sound change?
If you just press the shutter button fully without pausing halfway, the
image may not be in focus.
