Basic

∫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.

∫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. 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.

Taking pictures using the automatic function (Intelligent Auto Mode)

The camera will set the most appropriate settings to match the subject and the recording conditions so we recommend this mode for beginners or those who want to leave the settings to the camera and take pictures easily.

The following functions work automatically in the intelligent auto mode [].

∫Stabilizer function (P63) Jitter is detected and stabilized.

∫Intelligent ISO sensitivity (P58) The camera will automatically set the appropriate ISO sensitivity and the shutter speed to the movement of the subject and the surrounding brightness.

∫Face detection (P61)

The camera can automatically detect a person’s face and will adjust the focus and exposure to fit that face no matter what portion of the picture it is in.

∫Scene detection

The camera will distinguish the scene that matches the subject and the recording conditions.

([ ] is set if none of the scenes are applicable.)
