DNote on the Flash

When the built-in flash is lowered, the flash setting is fixed to off and W appears at the top of the monitor. In situations where flash is needed, such as in dark locations or when the subject is backlit, be sure to raise the built-in flash (A33).

DFunctions Available in A(Auto) Mode

In A (auto) mode, focus mode (A36) and exposure compensation (A39) can be applied and pictures can be taken using the flash mode (A32) and self-timer (A35). Pressing the dbutton in A (auto) mode allows you to specify settings for the shooting menu options Image quality (A107) and Image size (A108).

DVibration Reduction

When On (default setting) is chosen for Vibration reduction (A143), the camera effectively reduces camera shake that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds.

Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
