Anti-shake

Disp. + Exp.

The Anti-Shake system is less effective at short subject distances or when using the macro function (p. 35). The use of a tripod is recommended. Anti-Shake is not effective with a tripod mounted cam- era; turn off the Anti-Shake function to conserve power.

Three Anti-Shake options are available in section 1 of the recording menus.

Display + Exp. - when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the anti-Shake function activates. The affect of the Anti-Shake system can be seen in the live image.

Anti-Shake

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

When the system is active, the Anti-Shake indi-

warning

cator appears. Regardless of the Anti-Shake

 

setting, if the shutter speed is too slow for the

Anti-shake

camera to be safely handheld, the camera-

shake indicator appears as a warning. Use the

indicator

built-in flash or a wide-angle zoom position.

 

Frame the subject as described in the basic operation section and press the shutter-release button partway down. Confirm the image has stabilized on the monitor and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. If Anti-Shake cannot compensate the camera motion, the Anti-Shake indicator turns red.

Exposure - Anti-Shake is only applied during the exposure and is not apparent in the live image. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, wait a moment before taking the picture for the Anti-Shake system to stabilize the image.

Off - Anti-Shake will not activate.

A thermometer indicator replaces the Anti-Shake indicator when the camera is overheating because of high operating or ambient temperatures. When taking still images, the Anti- Shake system is used only for the exposure. When taking movies, Anti-Shake is canceled. Allow the camera to cool before using Anti-Shake.
