Things to watch out for using the EPS mode
1. The digital zoom will not operate in the EPS mode.
2. If the lighting condition is brighter than fluorescent lighting condition, the EPS
will not activate.
3. If the lighting condition is darker than in fluorescent lighting condition, camera
shake warning indicator ( ) will display. For best results only take pictures
in situations where the camera shake warning indicator ( ) is not
displayed.
4. If the subject is moving, the captured image may be blurred.
5. Avoid moving the camera while the [Capturing!] message is displayed to
achieve a better result.
6. As the EPS uses the camera's digital signal processor, it may take a little
longer for the camera to process and save the images.
