.To change Auto Shutter trigger sensitivity (Sensitivity)

1.Use [8] and [2] to select “Sensitivity” and then press [6].

2.Use [4] and [6] to select the sensitivity setting you want, and then press [SET].

You can select any one of three sensitivity levels, from ø (Lowest) to œ (Highest).

With the œ (Highest) setting, the auto shutter release is triggered relatively easily. Auto shutter release triggering becomes more difficult with the ø (Lowest) setting, but recorded images have the least blur. Experiment with Auto Shutter trigger sensitivity settings to find the one that work best for you.

.Using Auto Shutter in Combination with Continuous Shutter

The following describes how Auto Shutter works while used in combination with Continuous Shutter (page 66).

With CS: Normal

The camera will go back into Auto Shutter standby and be

ready to shoot again each time it is triggered. To stop an

Speed CS, CS: 4 fps,

ongoing Continuous Shutter operation, wait until “0 Auto”

and CS: 10 fps

is flashing on the monitor screen, and then press [SET].

 

With CS: Flash

3 continuous shutter images will be shot with flash when

Auto Shutter is triggered.

 

 

 

Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots

Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 73) reduces the chance of image blur even more.

While recording with Detect Blur or Detect Smile, keep the camera as still as possible until the recording operation is complete.

IMPORTANT!

If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.

Detect Blur and Detect Panning may not produce the desired effect when shooting in an area where dim lighting requires a slow shutter speed, or when the subject is moving extremely quickly.

Since facial expressions differ from individual to individual, you may experience problems with getting the camera to release the shutter while Detect Smile is being used. If this happens, change the trigger sensitivity setting.

The Auto Power Off (page 146) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 145) is disabled while Auto Shutter being used.

To cancel Auto Shutter recording while Auto Shutter is being performed (indicated by “0 Auto” flashing on the monitor screen), press [SET].

The “Ë Tracking” setting for the AF area cannot be used while Detect Blur or Detect Panning is selected for the Auto Shutter setting (page 40).
