Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Shooting with BEST SHOT

With BEST SHOT (page 104), you select the preset scene that is closest to the one you want to shoot, and the camera sets up for it automatically. Selecting the “Night Scene” BEST SHOT scene, for example, sets the camera to shoot bright, clear images at night.

Anti Shake Movie Recording

You can also use Anti Shake to reduce the effects of hand

movement only while recording a movie (page 110). The effects of subject movement are not limited.
