P and T Modes
P (Anti-Shake) Mode
If the camera or the subject moves while the shutter is open, pictures can be
blurred. In P (anti-shake) mode, vibration reduction (
B 87) and BSS (Best Shot
Selector; B 75) turn on and ISO sensitivity (B 71) is raised to a maximum of ISO
1600, reducing blur caused by camera shake when the flash is off or the camera
is zoomed in. Use this mode to capture natural lighting or when shooting sub-
jects at a distance from the camera, for example when taking pictures of animals
or when trying to capture natural expressions on a portrait subject.
To take pictures in anti-shake mode:
A
P (Anti-Shake) Mode
Pictures taken in anti-shake mode may be affected by “noise” in the form of bright, ran-
domly-spaced bright dots. The flash turns off automatically and the self-timer can not be
used. Slower shutter speeds are not available, and consequently T (high sensitivity)
mode is recommended to reduce blur when the subject is dark. Date imprint (
B 86) is not
available in anti-shake mode.
