NOTE

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

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

•The ISO sensitivity setting (page 66) must be “Auto” for Anti Shake to work.

•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.

•Anti Shake is disabled during movie recording.
