Caution
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. Focus manually in this case, either by pressing the < > key
to specify [MF] focus mode or by setting the lens focus mode switch to < >
( , ).
Flash photography is available only with an external flash unit attached.
Shooting subjects at close range with an external flash unit may cause
overexposure.
Using an external flash unit in night scenes with limited lighting may result in blurry
pictures from misaligned images.
Using an external flash unit that illuminates both people and a nearby background
may result in blurry pictures from misaligned images. Unnatural shadows and
unsuitable colors may also appear.
Flash coverage angle with a Speedlite:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom
position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end regardless of the lens’s zoom
position.
• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set the flash
head to the normal position.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages or
the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to
camera shake.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. “BUSY” appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
Shots will look slightly different from the preview image shown on the screen.
