■Direction detection function

•If you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, the information of the rotation on the pictures is automatically added and recorded to the pictures. When [ROTATE DISP.] (P74) is set to [ON], you can rotate and display pictures on the screen or the TV according to the information of the rotation on the pictures.

•This function may not work properly on pictures recorded by aiming the camera up or down.

•In motion picture mode [i], you cannot use the direction detection function.

■Preventing jitter (camera shake)

•Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button.

•The jitter alert 1 appears when the shutter speed is slow and the chances of blurring are greater.

•When the jitter alert appears, take special care with the shooting methods described on P25, or use a tripod for best results.

By combining the use of a tripod with the self-timer (P43), you can avoid blurring caused when you press the shutter button.

•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.
