The Auto Focus function may have difficulty
working under the following conditions. In
such cases, release the shutter button, then
recompose the shot and focus again.
– The subject is distant from the camera and dark.
– The contrast between the subject and its
background is poor.
– The subject is seen through glass, such as a
window.
– A fast-moving subject.
– The subject reflects or has a lustrous finish, such
as a mirror or a luminous body.

About writing the system file
The system file is the space on a disc that is
used to store information. The player rewrites
the system file whenever an operation such
as closing the lens cover after shooting still
images has been done. “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” appears in the display and you
cannot operate the player while the player is
rewriting the system file. Do not remove the
rechargeable battery while “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” is displayed. The data in the disc
may be damaged.
The player rewrites the system file when
– you close the lens cover.
– you shoot a still image using a disc that
has no folder to save images.
– you created a new folder.
– you press / and the mode is
changed to the viewing mode.
– you delete still images.
– you set a still image as the music cover art
(
page 41).
Notes
• If you press / in the shooting mode, the
function is changed to the viewing mode.
• Clean the lens with a soft cloth if it is dirty (
page 62).
• When shooting outdoors during clear weather
or under other intense light, undesired light
(ghosting) may enter the screen. If this happens,
shade the lens with your hand or other object
while shooting.
• If the menu is currently displayed, press MENU
first so that the menu disappears.
• If you do not operate the player for about 3
minutes during shooting, the player turns off
automatically to prevent wearing down the battery
(Auto Power-Off function).
Shooting a cover art
If you shoot a still image for a cover art and
set it as the cover art of the music group, you
can view the cover art while listening to the
music (
page 22, 23), and you can search for
the desired track by a cover art (
page 23).
You can also set a still image that was shot
in another mode as the music cover art (
