7. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by using either the
viewfinder or LCD monitor. Press the shutter button and movie clips are recorded for as
long as the available memory permits. Movie clips will still be recorded if the shutter button

- Image size : 320 x 240 - File type : *.avi
When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the
camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case,
use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash
shot mode.
Backlight compensated shots : When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as
the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please
use Fill-in flash(p.28), Spot metering(p.37) or Exposure compensation(p.30).
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the
resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you
use the LCD monitor to compose these shots.
Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.
We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as
possible in order to extend battery life.
Under certain conditions the focus system may not perform as expected.
- In Macro focus mode, if the distance from a subject is closer than 0.19m or farther
than 0.21m.
Keep the distance between 0.19m~0.21m in Macro focus mode.
- In Normal focus mode, if the distance from a subject is closer than 1m.
Keep the distance between 1m ~ Infinity in Normal focus mode.
