n Jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• The jitter alert 1 appears when the
shutter speed is slow and the chances of
blurring are greater.
• When the jitter alert appears, take special
care with the shooting methods described
on P31, or use a tripod for best results. By
combining the use of a tripod with the
self-timer (P43), you can avoid blurring
caused when you press the shutter
button.
n Direction detection function
• If you take pictures by holding the camera
vertically, the information of the rotation
on the pictures are automatically added
and recorded to the pictures.
When [ROTATE DISP.] (P92) is set to
[ON], you can rotate and display pictures
on the screen or the TV according to the
information of the rotation on the pictures.
• When you take pictures by holding the
camera vertically, read “Correct posture
for taking good pictures” on P31 carefully.
• This function may not work properly on
pictures recorded by aiming the camera
up or down.
• In motion picture mode [i] or [FLIP
ANIM.], you cannot use the direction
detection function.
n Exposure
• If you press the shutter button halfway
when the exposure is not adequate, the
indication of the aperture value and the
shutter speed turns red. (However, the
aperture value and the shutter speed do
not turn red when the flash is activated.)
• The brightness of the screen may differ
from that of recorded pictures. Even
though the subject appears dark on the
screen, the actual picture will be bright.
• When most of the subjects in the screen
are bright (e.g. blue sky on a clear day,
snowy field, etc.), the recorded pictures
may become dark. In this case,
compensate the exposure value on the
camera. (P44)
• When you press the shutter button, the
screen may become bright or dark for a
moment. This function allows easy
adjustment of focus and the recorded
picture will not be affected.
• We recommend setting the clock again
before taking pictures. (P21)
• When the time for power save is set
(P23), the camera is automatically turned
off if you do not operate it within the set
time. When operating the camera again,
press the shutter button halfway or turn
the camera off and on.
• In some cases, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is beyond the
recordable range when you use the
camera, the picture may not be properly
focused even if the focus indication is lit.
