Super SteadyShot scale

This scale is displayed whenever the Super SteadyShot function is activated. A higher scale indicates more pronounced camera-shake (on a scale of five).

When the Super SteadyShot function is deactivated, the scale will not be displayed.

(Camera-shake warning) indicator

This indicator flashes regardless of the status of the Super SteadyShot function. It indicates the likelihood of camera-shake calculated from the shutter speed and focal length. If the indicator

flashes, reduce the camera-shake by setting the (Super SteadyShot) switch to ON or using the built-in flash or a tripod.

•The Super SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been turned on, when the subject has just entered the frame, or when the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without stopping halfway. Wait for the Super SteadyShot scale to go down, and then press the shutter button down slowly.

•When the subject is within a very close range, such as in macro, the Super SteadyShot function may not be able to cancel out the effect of camera-shake. In such cases, deactivate the Super SteadyShot function and mount the camera on a tripod.

•This Super SteadyShot function can reduce the effect of camera-shake by the equivalent of approximately 2 to 3.5 increments of shutter speed. The Super SteadyShot function is less effective with moving subjects or with shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, which are typically used in night-time shooting. In such cases, deactivate the Super SteadyShot function and mount the camera on a tripod.

•When using a tripod, deactivate the Super SteadyShot function as it will not be fully effective.
