Advanced Settings

NOTE

• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen

when you half-press the shutter button while “Auto” is selected. These values will
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after
you shoot a snapshot.

• If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon S will remain on the display, even though

Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.

• The ISO sensitivity setting (page 66) must be “Auto” for Anti Shake to work.
• Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than

normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.

• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement

when movement is severe.

• Anti Shake is disabled during movie recording.

Procedure

IMPORTANT!

• Auto Focus is disabled when W (Manual Focus) is selected for the focus mode

(page 57), even if you select an AF area.

• Selecting “O

Tracking” can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens

operation while tracking a subject. This does not indicate malfunction.

• While Face Detection (page 41) is turned on, regardless of the current AF Area

setting, “U Spot” (center) focusing will be used automatically whenever a face
cannot be detected for some reason.

camera focuses will be displayed in green.
