For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to 
You can take a picture brightly in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also, 
you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.
Applicable modes: 
[1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]
Note
This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed 
other than [1/8 ], [
] appears on the screen.)
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we 
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend 
recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [
] will flash in 
red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to 
Audio can be recorded simultaneously with the image. You can record the conversation 
during the shooting or the situation as a memo.
Applicable modes: 
If you press [MENU/SET] during audio recording, the audio recording is cancelled.
Note
Audio is recorded from the built-in microphone on the camera.
Audio recorded with this unit may not playback on other equipment.
