Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other  
devices, you should format the card with this camera.  
Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card.  
As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before  
formatting the memory card.  
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (see Camera User Guide), be sure to install  
the software contained on the card to a computer.  
Display the menu.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
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.  
Perform a low-level format (see Camera User Guide) of the memory card  
when the camera does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed  
of a memory card has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows  
down, or when movie recording stops suddenly.

z Since the shot is being taken while the  
shutter sound plays, be careful not to move  
the camera.  
Does the length of the shutter sound change?  
Since the time required to shoot differs depending on the scene you want to  
take, the length of the shutter sound may change.  
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded  
image may be blurry.  
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not  
be in focus.

What if...  
What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as  
expected?  
The scene icon (see Camera User Guide) that appears on the screen may not  
match the actual scene, and you may not obtain the expected results. If this  
happens, try shooting in G mode (see Camera User Guide).  
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.  
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 (see Camera User Guide).  
What if a blue frame appears when you prs the shutter button halfway?  
A blue frame appears when a moving ect is detected; the focus and

which will turn off all sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button to  
choose [Mute] in 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 50 cm – 3.0 m (1.6 – 9.8 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and  
approximately 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 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 1 cm (0.4 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot.  
Move about 1 m (3.3 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 low light conditions.
