Camera Status Lamp
Some lighting statuses of the camera status lamp show that it is not possible to shoot. Refer to the following and check the status of the camera.
- Lit in green:
- Shooting is possible.
*Except when captured with HDR rendering set as the auto mode. - Flashing in green:
- Sleep mode (power saving).
- Flashing in red:
- An error has occurred in the camera.
- Unlit:
- Shooting is not possible as no more images can be taken/no more time remains. The lamp is also unlit during shooting.
Note
- The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if no operations are performed for a set period of time (default setting 5 minutes). Shooting is not possible in the sleep mode. Press the shutter button to enable shooting and then press the shutter button again to shoot a video.
