– Optical image stabilizer is [OFF]
– When the optical image stabilizer is set, the camera determines that there is minimum
possibility of blurring.
• In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identifi ed scene.
Note
• Do not bring the fl ash too close to objects or close the fl ash while it is activated. The objects
may be discolored by its heat or lighting.
• While the fl ash is charged, the LCD monitor turns off and you cannot take pictures. The status
indicator lights up.
If the remaining battery power is low, the screen may be turned off for a longer period of time.
• When you take a picture beyond the available fl ash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the photo fl ash is insuffi cient.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the fl ash effect may not be suffi cient.
• It may take time to charge the fl ash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the
camera or was not looking at the fi rst fl ash, the effect may not be evident.
