How to use the DIS mode ( )

Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) mode.

This mode will reduce the effect of camera shake and help you get a well-exposed image in dim conditions.

1. Select the DIS mode by pressing the MENU button. (p.19)

2. Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by using the LCD monitor.

3. Press the Shutter button to capture an image.

Things to watch out for using the DIS mode

1.The digital zoom will not operate in the DIS mode.

2.If the lighting condition is brighter than ﬂuorescent lighting conditions, the DIS will not activate.

3.If the lighting condition is darker than in ﬂuorescent lighting conditions, camera shake warning indicator ( Ã) will display. For best results only take pictures in situations where the camera shake warning indicator ( Ã) is not displayed.

4.If the subject is moving, the captured image may be blurred.

5.As the DIS uses the camera's digital signal processor, it may take a little longer for the camera to process and save the images.
