Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file  
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are  
completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory  
card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as  
physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.  
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen  
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

button halfway, or repeatedly push the shutter button halfway, the AF frame will appear  
and the camera will focus.

the front of the camera) lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while the camera  
is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if the subject is  
looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the  
lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
