[Vibration reduction] (c 113), when [On] (default setting) is selected, can be applied to effectively reduce blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds.

Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes.

l Auto Power Off in L (Auto) Mode (Standby Mode)

The monitor will dim to reduce the drain on the battery if no operations are performed for

 

about five seconds. The monitor will brighten when camera controls are used. At default set-

 

tings, the monitor will turn off altogether if no operations are performed for about a minute

 

during shooting and playback. The camera will turn off automatically if no operations are per-

 

formed for another three minutes (c 114).
