Panasonic DMC-FX500 operating instructions Stabilizer, MIN. Shtr Speed, 250

Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

•When you take pictures in dark places, picture noise may become noticeable. If picture noise becomes a problem, we recommend that you take pictures after increasing the setting for [NOISE REDUCTION] or lowering the setting for each of the items other than

[NOISE REDUCTION].

[STABILIZER]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P21.

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

Applicable modes: ñ³±´²¿n

[OFF]

[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.

•It cannot be set to [OFF] in the Intelligent auto mode.

•In motion picture mode, [MODE2] cannot be set.

[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P21.

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

Applicable modes: ³

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

Minimum shutter speed setting	1/250	1
Brightness	Darker	Brighter
Jitter	Less	More

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.
