Taking Pictures in M(Scene Recognition) Mode

Holding the Camera

Hold the camera steady with both hands and brace your elbows against your sides. Shaking or unsteady hands can blur your shots.

To prevent pictures that are out of focus or too dark (un- derexposed), keep your fingers and other objects away from the lens and flash.

To use best framing, position the main subject at the intersection of two lines or align one of the horizontal lines with the horizon. When HD framing is used, 16:9 aspect ratio guide lines are displayed to make it easy to frame HD shots.

Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect. Note that blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a tripod.
