Settings: OFF/ON ( displayed on screen)
Even if ‘SENSITIVITY’ is set to ‘80’ or ‘100’, when I.EXPOSURE is activated, images
may be taken at a higher sensitivity than the setting.
Correction effects may not be achieved under certain conditions.

: Becomes progressively slower. (Delayed timing depends on card type, PICTURE SIZE, and QUALITY.)
Focus is fixed from first picture.
When is selected, the exposure and white balance are fixed to the settings for the first picture.
When is selected, exposure and white balance is adjusted for each picture.
Burst speed may be reduced if SENSITIVITY is set to high, or if shutter speed is
reduced in darker locations.
When burst setting is used, flash is set to ‘FORCED FLASH OFF’, and AUTO
BRACKET, MULTI ASPECT , and AUDIO REC. settings are cancelled.
Settings will be stored even if power is turned off.
When using while following a moving subject in locations with major differences in
brightness, optimal exposure may not be achieved.
Auto review performed regardless of AUTO REVIEW setting.
Cannot set to BURST in TRANSFORM, PANORAMA ASSIST, HI-SPEED BURST,
FLASH BURST, STARRY SKY, PIN HOLE, and FILM GRAIN scene modes.
Using the ‘HI-SPEED BURST’ scene mode allows a faster succession of photographs to be taken.
FLASH BURST is convenient to take continuous still pictures using flash in dark places. (P.54)

AUTO
The optimum image stabilizer is performed automatically based on the recording
conditions.
MODE1

(Monitor image stable, composition easy to determine)
MODE2
Correction at moment shutter button is pressed
(More effective than MODE1)
Setting fixed to ‘MODE2’ in ‘SELF PORTRAIT’ and ‘OFF’ in ‘STARRY SKY’ scene
modes.
Cases where optical image stabilizer may be ineffective:
Heavy jitter, high zoom ratio (including digital zoom range), fast-moving objects, indoors
or in dark locations (due to low shutter speed)
This is fixed at ‘MODE1’ during motion picture recording.
