BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
E-51
Image Recording when the Battery is Low
To protect against unexpected loss of image data, each im-
age is recorded directly to the memory card (without going
into the buffer) whenever battery level is indicated as or
lower. The message “Press to cancel save.” appears
on the monitor screen during the save operation under this
condition. As long as you do not press , the save op-
eration continues and takes a few seconds to complete. Be
sure to replace all four batteries as soon as possible after
this message starts to appear.
Pressing while the “Press to cancel save.” is on
the monitor screen cancels the image save operation.
• If you have a microdrive loaded in the camera, the above
message appears whenever the battery level is indicated
as or lower.
• The message “Press to cancel save.” also appears
momentarily during save operations in the Panorama
Mode and Movie Mode. In this case, this message does not
indicate that battery power is low.
• The message described above does not appear while the
monitor screen is turned off.
Camera Orientation Detection
The camera automatically
detects whether it is
oriented vertically or
horizontally when you
record an image, and
stores the orientation
along with the image data.
Then when you play back images using the bundled Photo
Loader application, they are all automatically oriented
correctly on the display.
IMPORTANT!
• Note the following precautions to ensure that the sensor
built into the camera can correctly detect the orientation of
the camera.
— Make sure you are holding the camera still when re-
cording images. Camera movement can cause sensor
errors.
