Note
• The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been 

turned on or when the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without 
stopping halfway.

In the following cases, we recommend that you mount the camera on a 
tripod.
• Shooting without a flash under dark conditions.
• Shooting with slow shutter speeds, which are typically used in night-time 

shooting.

• Shooting a close subject, such as in macro shooting.
• Shooting with a telescopic lens.

Note
• When using a tripod, deactivate the SteadyShot function because there is a potential 

for malfunction of the SteadyShot function.
