• Even when [FACE DETECT] is set, faces may not be detected depending on the subject.
When activated [ON], the camera will record about 4 seconds of
audio after the picture is taken.
When recording, aim the camera microphone at the source of
the sound you want to record.
Select to ON/OFF the image stabilization function.
The default settings for [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still picture) and [DIS MOVIE MODE] (movie)
are set to [ON] and [OFF] respectively.
• When taking pictures with the camera stabilized (using a tripod), set to [OFF].
• Images may be blurry if the camera is severely shaken.
• At very slow shutter speeds (for example when using still picture shooting mode or taking
night photographs), some images may not acquire the proper stabilization effect.
• When [DIS MOVIE MODE] (movie) is set to [ON] during shooting, the recorded images will
be slightly magnified.
This function allows you to turn off operational sounds that occur during shooting and
playback, warning beeps, shutter sounds, etc.
