• The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

What if...
• What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as
expected?
The scene icon (p. 164) that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 79).
• What if the screen is off even when the camera is turned on?
Press the l button to turn on the screen.
• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 88). If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.
• What if a frame does not appear on the subject you want to shoot?
The subject may not be detected, and frames may appear on the background. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 79).
24
Taking Pictures (Smart Auto)
• What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
• What if a flashing appears?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.
• What if the camera does not play any sounds?
Pressing the l button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button to choose [Mute] from the 3 tab, then press the qr buttons to choose [Off].
• What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is approximately 30 cm – 4.0 m (12 in. – 13 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and approximately 50 cm – 2.0 m (1.6 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).
• What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed
halfway?
Your subject may be too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle (j), move about 3 cm (1.2 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about 80 cm (2.6 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto (i).
• What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas.
• What if the screen turns off when you try to shoot?
When flash recharging begins, the screen turns off. The screen turns on again when recharging ends.
What if an icon appears in the upper right of the screen?
The icon for the determined scene will appear in the upper right of the screen. For details on the icons that appear, see “Scene Icons” (p. 164).
Choosing the subject to focus on (Tracking AF)
After pressing the o button and displaying , point the camera so that is on the subject you want to focus on. Press and hold the shutter button halfway to display a blue frame where focus and exposure will be maintained (Servo AF). Press the shutter button fully to shoot.
