Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

When you take pictures in dark places, noise may become visible. To avoid noise, we recommend setting to [NATURAL].

You cannot set [NATURAL], [VIVID], [COOL] or [WARM] in Intelligent auto mode. Also, you cannot set [NATURAL] or [VIVID] in Motion picture mode.

Different color modes can be set in different [REC] modes.

[STABILIZER]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P20.

Using one of these modes, jitter during picture taking is detected, and the camera automatically compensates for the jitter, enabling jitter-free images to be taken.

Applicable modes: ·¿

[OFF]

[AUTO]: The optimum jitter compensation is selected depending on the condition.

[MODE1]: Jitter is always compensated during [REC] mode.

[MODE2]: The jitter is compensated for when the shutter button is pressed.

Note

The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.

When there is a lot of jitter.

When the zoom magnification is high.

In digital zoom range.

When taking pictures while following a moving subject.

When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places. Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.

The setting is fixed to [MODE2] with [SELF PORTRAIT] in Scene mode and to [OFF] in [STARRY SKY] in Scene mode.

The setting is fixed to [MODE1] in Motion picture mode.

[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P20.

You can take bright pictures in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also, you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.

Applicable modes: ·

[1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]

Note

This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed other than [1/8 ], [ ] appears on the screen.)

Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

The setting is not available when [INTELLIGENT ISO] is being used.
