•The camera automatically detects the jitter and the movement of the subject and displays these on the indicator.

•We recommend using a bright subject with high contrast for the subject movement demonstration.

•The jitter/movement detection demonstration screen is an approximation.

•The camera also detects the movement of the subject when automatically setting the

ISO sensitivity in intelligent ISO sensitivity mode [ ] (P52) and [SPORTS] (P63), [BABY1]/[BABY2] (P66) and [PET] (P67) in scene mode.

•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.

•In simple mode [], the setting is fixed to [MODE1] and in [STARRY SKY] (P67) in scene mode it is fixed to [OFF]. The stabilizer function mode selection menu does not appear.

•In motion picture mode [ ] or [PANNING] in scene mode, [MODE2] cannot be set.
