Transfer mode
The data-transfer mode must be specified depending on whether images are transferred to a com- puter or printed directly. The data-storage option must be selected to transfer data from the camera to a computer or when using the DiMAGE Viewer software. The PictBridge option allows images to be printed directly from the camera with a PictBridge compatible printer (p. 108).
Self-timer
Self-timer delay period can be selected between 10 seconds and 2 seconds in section 4 of the setup menu (p. 86). A two-second self-timer is recommended to reduce camera shake when using a tripod. Unlike the 10 seconds self-timer, the two-second self-timer is not canceled after taking a picture.
Anti-shake system
The Anti-shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake, a slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion. Camera shake is more pronounced at the telephoto setting than at the wide-angle. Anti-shake is employed when the shutter speed falls below a certain limit depending on the focal length in use. The effectiveness of Anti-shake depends on the shutter-speed in use and the degree of shaking. The system may not work with moving subjects or when the camera is panned.
Camera-shake warning
Anti-shake indicator
When the system is active, the Anti-shake indi- cator appears. Regardless of the Anti-shake setting, if the shutter speed is too slow for the camera to be safely handheld, the camera- shake indicator appears as a warning. Use the built-in flash or a wide-angle zoom position.
