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.

you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1.4 m (4.6 ft.) or more away  
from the end of the lens.

Shooting with Commonly  
Used Functions  
This chapter explains how to shoot in diffent conditions, as well as  
how to use common functions, such as telf-timer.  
This chapter assumes the camera is set to A mode for “Zooming in  
More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)” (p. 58) to “Using the Self-Timer”  
(p. 61). When shooting in a mode other than A, check which functions  
are available in that mode (pp. 182 – 185).  
“Shooting in Various Conditions” (p. 62) to “Shooting in “Take Shots That  
Look Like a Miniature Model (Miniature Effect)” (p. 70) assumes that the  
corresponding mode has been chosen.

may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel setting (p. 74)  
and the zoom factor used.

Troubleshooting  
Image is blurred.  
Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to shoot (p. 24).  
Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 189).  
Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 158).

appear, and the camera does not focus.  
If you center on the light and dark contrasting area of the subject and push the shutter  
button halfway, or repeatedly push the shutter button halfway, the AF frame will appear  
and the camera will focus.

Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 159). When shooting with the flash, the lamp (on  
the front of the camera) lights (p. 44), 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.

When shooting, the camera detects if it is held vertically or horizontally, and adjusts  
settings accordingly for the best shot. It also detects orientation during playback, so you  
can hold the camera in either orientation and it will automatically rotate images for  
correct viewing.  
This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or  
down.
