NOTE

Only Camera Stabilizer can be used during movie recording.

ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen when you half-press the shutter button while “D Auto” or “S Image AS” is selected. These values will appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after you shoot a snapshot.

The ISO sensitivity setting (page 36) must be “AUTO” for “S Image AS” to work.

Shooting while “D Auto” or “S Image AS” is selected can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.

Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement when movement is severe.

“A Camera AS” may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Either turn off Anti Shake or select “S Image AS”.
