IMPORTANT!
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able 
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure 
your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using 
continuous shutter.
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for 
successive images as well.
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is 
finished.
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (AUTO BEST SHOT, Dynamic Photo, Interval 
Snapshot, Interval Movie, Underwater, Multi-motion Image, Prerecord (Movie), 
For YouTube, Voice Recording)
– Make-up Mode, Landscape Mode
• The speed of “Normal Speed CS” depends on the type of memory card loaded in 
the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to 
built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.
• “Normal Speed CS” speed is slower when shooting with flash.
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with “Normal Speed CS” and “High 
Speed CS”.
• Note that images recorded with “High Speed CS” are of somewhat lower resolution 
and more prone to digital noise than images recorded with “Normal Speed CS”.
• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “AUTO” for “High Speed CS”, regardless of 
the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the 
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

until the camera adjusts exposure and focus automatically.
2.Press the shutter button the rest of the way

press [SET].
• You can select any one of three sensitivity levels, from ø (Lowest) to 
œ (Highest).
• With the œ (Highest) setting, the auto shutter release is triggered relatively 
easily. Auto shutter release triggering becomes more difficult with the ø 
(Lowest) setting, but recorded images have the least blur. Experiment with 
Auto Shutter trigger sensitivity settings to find the one that work best for you.
.Using Auto Shutter in Combination with Continuous Shutter
When shooting in combination with Continuous Shutter (page 70), the camera will go 
back into Auto Shutter standby after shooting of the CS images is complete, so it will 
be ready to shoot again. To stop an ongoing Continuous Shutter operation, wait until 
“0 Auto” is flashing on the monitor screen, and then press [SET].
Indicator:

Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots
• Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 77) reduces the chance 
of image blur even more.
• While recording with Detect Blur or Detect Smile, keep the camera as still as 
possible until the recording operation is complete.
IMPORTANT!
• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you 
can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.
• Detect Blur and Detect Panning may not produce the desired effect when shooting 
in an area where dim lighting requires a slow shutter speed, or when the subject is 
moving extremely quickly.
• Since facial expressions differ from individual to individual, you may experience 
problems with getting the camera to release the shutter while Detect Smile is being 
used. If this happens, change the trigger sensitivity setting.
• The Auto Power Off (page 145) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the 
camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 144) is disabled while Auto Shutter 
being used.
• To cancel Auto Shutter recording while Auto Shutter is being performed (indicated 
by “0 Auto” flashing on the monitor screen), press [SET].
• The “Ë Tracking” setting for the AF area cannot be used while Detect Blur or 
Detect Panning is selected for the Auto Shutter setting (page 43).
• Always make sure you had “Û Spot” selected for the AF area whenever you are 
using the Detect Smile Auto Shutter setting (page 43).
• Auto Shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
– Some BEST SHOT sample scenes (AUTO BEST SHOT, Dynamic Photo, 
Interval Snapshot, Interval Movie, Multi-motion Image, Prerecord (Movie), For 
YouTube, Voice Recording)
• The following function is disabled when shooting with Auto Shutter.
– Triple Self-timer

Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * REC Tab * Face Detection
For details, see the Control Panel procedure on page 46.
Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * REC Tab * Anti Shake
You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, when shooting a fast-
moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.
NOTE
• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen 
when you half-press the shutter button while “Auto” is selected. These values will 
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after 
you shoot a snapshot.
• If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon S will remain on the display, even though 
Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.
• Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than 
normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of subject movement when 
movement is severe.
