•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 vertically.

Preventing jitter (camera shake)

When the Jitter alert [ ] appears, use [Stabilizer] (P79), a tripod or the Self-timer (P54).
