people. (The camera automatically
detects a face and displays a
frame on the monitor). Press the

on something other than a face.

fi nds the subject to focus on and

The camera’s default settings are [IMAGE
STABILIZER] (still images) to [ON] and [DIS

While [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still images)
is set to [ON], noises may occur from the

such as when taking still shots or taking
pictures at night, the stabilizer may not be
as effective.

MODE] (movies) is set to [ON], the image
will be enlarged somewhat before saving.
