Note
• The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been
turned on, right after you point the camera towards a subject, or when the shutter
button has been pressed all the way down without stopping halfway.
In the following cases, we recommend that you mount the camera on a
tripod.
• Shooting without a flash under dark conditions.
• Shooting with slow shutter speeds, which are typically used in night-time
shooting.
• Shooting a close subject, such as in macro shooting.
• Shooting with a telescopic lens.
Note
• When using a tripod, deactivate the SteadyShot function because there is a potential
for malfunction of the SteadyShot function.
