When it is dark or when jitter occurs

When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and near 

subjects

When the jitter alert [

] appears, use [STABILIZER] 

(P89)

, a tripod or the self-timer 

(P52)

.

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.

Slow sync./Red-eye reduction

In [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY], [PARTY], [CANDLE LIGHT], [STARRY SKY] or 

[FIREWORKS] in scene mode 

(P64)

When the shutter speed is slowed in [MIN. SHTR SPEED]

Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only 
when [ROTATE DISP.] 

(P107)

 is set to [ON])

Pictures may not be displayed vertically if they were taken with the camera aimed up or down.

Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed vertically.

This unit will remember the focus point during the recording, and it can be enlarged with 
that point as a centre.

Focus point may not be the centre of enlargement when it is 

at the edge of the image. 

Refer to 

Using the Playback Zoom

 

(P43)

 for operation 

during zooming.

It will return to the original enlargement if [FOCUS] is 

pressed again during zooming. 

Focus point is enlarged during zoom in auto review.

Following pictures cannot be enlarged because there is no focus point:

Picture that was taken without focusing

Picture that was taken with manual focus

Picture that was taken with a different camera

In programme AE mode, you can change the preset 
aperture value and shutter speed without changing 
the exposure. This is called programme shift.
You can make the background more blurred by 
decreasing the aperture value or record a moving 
subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter 
speed when taking a picture in programme AE mode.

Press the shutter button halfway and then use the joystick to activate programme shift while the 

aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (about 10 seconds).

The programme shift indication 

A

 appears on the screen when programme shift is activated.
