•To prevent dropping, be sure to attach the supplied strap and fit it to your wrist. (P16)

•Be careful not to move the camera when you press the shutter button.

•Be careful not to put your fingers on the flash, AF Assist Lamp/LED light, microphone or lens, etc.

Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only when [Rotate Disp.] (P59) is set)

•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] (P109), a tripod or the Self-timer (P69).

•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.
