Tips for taking good pictures∫Direction Detection Function ([ROTATEDISP.])
Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only
when [ROTATEDISP.] (P139) is set to [ON])
•When the camera is held vertically and tilted up and down to record pictures, the Direction
Detection function may not work correctly.
•Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed verti cally.
•You cannot record 3D pictures in vertical orientat ion.
When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P120), a tripod or the Self-timer
(P73).
•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 [HIGH DYNAMIC] in Creative Control Mode
–In [NIGHT PORTRAIT] and [NIGHTSCENERY] in [NIGHT PORTRAIT]

Scene Mode
–When the shutter speed is slowed in [MIN. SHTR SPEED]
Hold the camera gently with both hands,
keep your arms still at your side and stand
with your feet slightly apart.
•Be careful not to put your fingers on the flash, AF
Assist Lamp A, microphone B, speaker or lens
etc.
•Be careful not to move the camera wh en you press
the shutter button.
•When taking pictures, make sure your footing is
stable and there is no danger of colliding with another
person, an object etc.
•Do not hold the lens barrel as you take pictures.
There is a risk that your finger will be trapped as the
lens retracts.
