C When Using a Tripod

•We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.

-When shooting in dim lighting with the flash lowered, or in a shooting mode in which the flash is disabled

-When using the telephoto setting

•When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction (A 91) to Off in the setup menu to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
