∫Subjects and recording conditions which are difficult to focus

•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] (P65), a tripod or the self-timer (P42).

•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

–In [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY], [PARTY], [CANDLE LIGHT], [STARRY SKY] or [FIREWORKS] in scene mode (P45)

–When the shutter speed is slowed in [MIN. SHTR SPEED]

∫Direction detection function

Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.] (P82) 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.

Using the Optical Zoom/Using the Extended Optical Zoom (EZ)/Using

the Digital Zoom

You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer [maximum of 7.1k], do not set the picture size to the highest setting for each aspect ratio (X/Y/W).

Even higher levels of magnification are possible when [DIGITAL ZOOM] is set to [ON] in [REC] menu.

To make subjects appear closer use (Tele)

Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele.
