Things to watch out for using the ASR mode
1. The digital zoom will not operate in the ASR
mode.
2. If the lighting conditions are brighter than
fluorescent lighting condition, the ASR doesn’t
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 final image captured may be blurred.
5. Avoid moving the camera while the [Capturing!] message is displayed to
achieve a better result.
6. As the ASR uses the camera’s digital processor, images taken using the ASR
may take a little longer for the camera to process.
