Reducing the Effects of Camera and Subject Movement (Anti Shake)

Procedure

[r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Anti Shake

You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions. Your digital camera is equipped with a CCD shift type camera shake correction feature and a high-sensitivity anti image blur feature. These two features work in concert to minimize the effects of hand and subject movement.

IMPORTANT!

•While the “Anti Shake” setting is “D Auto” or “A Camera AS”, half pressing the shutter will cause the camera to vibrate and emit an operation sound. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

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” 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 76) must be “Auto” for “S Image AS” to work.

•If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon S will remain on the display, even though Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.

•Shooting with Anti Shake 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”.
