∫Jitter (camera shake)

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. If you cannot use a tripod, be careful of how you hold the camera (P28). The use of the self-timer (P53) prevents jittering at pressing the shutter button when you are using a tripod.

•Especially in the following cases, the shutter speed will be slower. Keep the camera still from the moment you press the shutter button until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.

∫Programme shift

In Programme AE mode, you can change the preset aperture value and the shutter speed under the same exposure. This is called Programme shift.

By this function, you can make the background more blurred (by decreasing the aperture value) or record the moving subject more dynamically (by setting to slow shutter speed) in Programme AE mode.

•Press the shutter button halfway and then rotate the rear dial to activate the Programme shift while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (for about 10 seconds).
