Subject and recording conditions which are difficult to focus in

Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast

When the recordable range display has appeared in red

When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects

When it is dark or when jitter occurs

When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and near subjects

Preventing jitter (camera shake)

When the jitter alert [] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P66), a tripod or the self-timer (P44).

Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.

In [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY], [PARTY], [CANDLE LIGHT], [STARRY SKY] or [FIREWORKS] in scene mode (P47)

Direction detection function

Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.] (P78) is set to [ON])

Pictures may not be displayed vertically if they were taken with the camera aimed up or down.

Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed vertically.
