Taking Pictures in Simple Mode, Pict.Mode | Panasonic DMC-FX30

Basic

∫Direction detection function Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.] (P74) 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.

∫Preventing jitter (camera shake)

•Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button.

•If jitter could occur because of slow shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.

F2.8 1/10

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. If you cannot use a tripod, be careful how you hold the camera (P22). The use of the self-timer prevents jittering caused by pressing the shutter button when you are using a tripod (P38).

•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.

–Slow sync./Red-eye reduction (P34)

–[NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P45)

–[NIGHT SCENERY] (P45)

–[PARTY] (P46)

–[CANDLE LIGHT] (P46)

–[STARRY SKY] (P48)

–[FIREWORKS] (P49)

–When the shutter speed is slowed in [SLOW SHUTTER] (P66)
