∫ Preventing jitter (camera shake)
When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [Stabilizer], a tripod or the self-timer (P88).
•
Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the
moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend
using a tripod.
– Slow Sync.
– Slow Sync./Red-Eye Reduction
– [Clear Nightscape], [Cool Night Sky], [Warm Glowing Nightscape], [Artistic Nightscape],
[Glittering Illuminations] and [Clear Night Portrait] in Scene Guide Mode
– When you set to a slow shutter speed
Note
•
When using an optional interchangeable lens with an O.I.S. switch, it is possible to set to
enable the Optical Image Stabilizer by switching the O.I.S. switch on the lens to [ON]. (At the
time of purchase, it is initially set to [ ].)
• It is recommended to disable the Optical Image Stabilizer when using a tripod. [ ] is
displayed on the screen at that time.
• The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases. Be careful of camera jitter
when you press the shutter button.
– When there is a lot of jitter.
– When the zoom magnification is high.
– When using the Digital Zoom.
– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.
– When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.
• The panning effect in [ ] is more difficult to achieve in the following cases.
– In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a summer’s day
– When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th of a second.
– When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The
background will not become a blur.)
– When the camera does not keep up with the subject satisfactorily
