TIPS
Correct focus cannot be obtained on the subject you want to shoot.
→ "If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.48)
The green lamp blinks.
→You are too close to the subject. Take the picture at least 20 cm (7.9")
away from the subject. If you use the super macro mode, you can
take pictures as close as 2 cm/0.8" from the subject.
"Super macro mode shooting" (P.61)
→Depending on the subject, the focus may not be locked.
"If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.48)
The mark blinks slowly when the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
→The flash is charging. Wait until the lamp goes off.
To check the picture you have just taken immediately.
→Set REC VIEW to ON.
"REC VIEW" (P.95)
The monitor turns off automatically.
→If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off
automatically. Touch the shutter button or zoom lever to turn the
monitor on.
The monitor is hard to see.
→Bright light, such as direct sunlight, may cause vertical lines to appear
on the monitor screen. In this case, use the viewfinder. (Note that this
does not affect recorded pictures.)
