• A flashing AF indication LED indicates that the subject is out of focus. If
this occurs, use the focus lock function. See “Focus Lock Shooting” (p.62).
• If the “SLOW SHUTTER” message appears on the LCD monitor, you are
recommended to shoot with the flash enabled or in S mode to avoid
camera shake that tends to occur in this situation. See “Changing Flash
Modes” (p.55) and “S Mode (Shutter Speed)” (p.71).
