Notes

•

You can delete images recorded on a disc, however, even if you delete images, the disc

remaining space does not increase.

•

When recording bright subjects, the color of the LCD screen or the viewfinder may change

after the AE is locked, however, this will not affect the recorded image.

•

After you change the disc, it may take about ten seconds to get ready for recording.

Adjust the viewfinder adjustment lever until the image appears clearly within the

viewfinder, then record the image.

Note

The viewfinder display is automatically turned off when your face is not near the viewfinder.

Press LCD (ON/OFF) to turn off the LCD screen. The battery life will be longer.
