BNotes on Motion Detection

Motion detection may be unable to completely reduce effects of camera shake and subject movement in some situations.

Motion detection may not function if the subject exhibits significant movement or is too dark.

The pictures taken may become grainy.

This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously” (A63) for more information.
