The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting mode (A6).

When the camera detects camera shake or subject movement, it increases shutter speed and the motion detection icon turns green. No icon is displayed when Off is selected.

B Notes About Motion Detection

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

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

The images captured using motion detection may be somewhat “grainy” in appearance.
