Shooting in Hybrid Auto Mode
You can make a short movie of the day (digest movie). Just by shooting \
still images, the camera will automatically record a movie clip of the s\
cene 
immediately before each shot.
1 Enter [] mode.
zzSet the mode switch to [].
2 Shoot.
zzFollow steps 3 – 4 in “Shooting (Smart 
Auto)” (=  16) to shoot a still image.
zzTo beautifully capture a digest movie, 
which is created by automatically 
recording about 2 – 4 seconds of the 
scene before each shot, aim the camera 
at the subject about four seconds before 
shooting a still image.
zzSome camera sounds will be muted. 
Sounds are not played when you press 
the shutter button halfway, or trigger the 
self-timer (=
  39).
•	 Battery life is shorter in this mode than in [] mode, because 
digest movies are recorded for each shot.
•	 A digest movie may not be recorded if you shoot a still image 
immediately after turning the camera on, choosing [
] mode, or 
operating the camera in other ways.
•	 Camera operating sounds will be recorded in digest movies.
•	 Although the digest movie recorded on a particular day constitutes a sin\
gle 
file, a single clip (chapter) is created with each shot, and the clip can be edited 
(=
  105).
•	 Digest movies are saved as separate movie files in the following cases even if 
they were recorded on the same day in [
] mode.
-
 If the digest movie file size reaches approximately 4 GB or the total recording 
time reaches approximately 29 minutes and 59 seconds
-
 If the digest movie is protected (=  93)
- If the daylight saving time (=  14) or time zone (=  134) settings have 
been changed
-
 If a new folder is created (=  137)
Digest Movie Playback
You can play digest movies either by viewing still images shot in [] mode 
on the same day as the movies or by specifying the date of movies to pla\
y 
(=
  86).
Still Images/Movies
•	 If the camera is turned on while the < p> button is held down, the 
camera will no longer sound. To activate sounds again, press the 
 button and choose [Mute] on the [3] tab, and then press 
the  buttons to choose [Off].

•	 A flashing [] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred 
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take 
other measures to keep it still.
•	 If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the 
subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” ( =
  172).
•	 The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when 
you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing 
range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” ( =
  173).
•	 To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be 
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
•	 A blinking [h] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates 
that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. 
Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press 
the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press 
it again.
•	 The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies 
(Sleeping) icons ( =
  36) are displayed.
•	You can change how long images are displayed after shots ( =  52).
Movies
•	The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly 
over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.
•	Keep your fingers away from the 
microphone while shooting movies. 
Blocking the microphone may prevent 
audio from being recorded or may 
cause the recording to sound muffled.
•	 Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when 
shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be 
recorded.
•	 Audio is recorded in stereo.

Continuous Shooting Scenes
If you shoot a still image when the following scene icons are displayed, 
the camera will shoot continuously. If you press the shutter button halfway 
when one of the icons in the table below is displayed, one of the following 
icons will be displayed to inform you that the camera will shoot continu\
ous

analyzes details such as facial expressions to save 
the image determined to be the best.
Sleeping (including Babies)
:   Beautiful shots of sleeping faces, created by 
combining consecutive shots to reduce camera 
shake and image noise.  
The AF assist beam will not light up, the flash will 
not fire, and the shutter sound will not be played.
Children
W:   So you don’t miss a photo opportunity of children 
who move around, the camera will capture three 
consecutive images for each shot.
•	 In some scenes, expected images may not be saved, and images 
may not look as expected.
•	 Focus, image brightness, and color are determined by the first shot.
•	 When you want to shoot single images only, press the  button, choose

Image Stabilization Icons
Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically\
 
applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in [] 
and [] modes.
Image stabilization for still 
imagesImage stabilization for movies, 
reducing strong camera shake, 
as when shooting while walking 
(Dynamic IS)
Image stabilization for still 
images, when panning*Image stabilization for slow 
camera shake, such as when 
shooting movies at telephoto 
(Powered IS)
Image stabilization for macro 
shots (Hybrid IS)No image stabilization, because 
the camera is mounted on 
a tripod or held still by other 
means
*
 Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow 
subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera 
shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving 
vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.
•	 To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=  82). In this case, an 
IS icon is not displayed.
•	 In [

In [] mode, a variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects 
subjects you are aiming the camera at.
•	 A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face) 
determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are 
displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects 
within a certain range to keep them in focus.
However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame 
will remain on the screen.
•	 When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera 
detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and 
image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).
•	Try shooting in [G] mode (=  68) if no frames are displayed, if 
frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are 
displayed on the background or similar areas.
