Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Anti Shake
You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, 
when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.
Your digital camera is equipped with a CCD shift type camera shake correction 
feature and a high-sensitivity anti image blur feature. These two features work in 
concert to minimize the effects of hand and subject movement.
NOTE
• Only Camera Stabilizer can be used during movie recording.
• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen 
when you half-press the shutter button while “D Auto” is selected. These values 
will appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately 
after you shoot a snapshot.
• Shooting while “D Auto” is selected 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 camera or subject movement 
when movement is severe.
• Anti Shake may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Turn 
off Anti Shake.

• The “Fine” setting helps to bring out details when shooting a finely detailed image 
of nature that includes dense tree branches or leaves, or an image of a complex 
pattern.
• Memory capacity (the number of images you can record) will be affected by the 
quality settings you configure (page 179).
Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * » Quality (Movie)
Movie image quality is a standard that determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity 
of a movie during playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HD) setting will result in 
better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time you can shoot.
• The 16:9 aspect ratio is available when “HD” is selected as the image quality.
• Memory capacity (Movie recording time you can shoot) will be affected by the 
quality settings you configure (page 180).

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * White Balance
You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are 
shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is 
cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.
• When “Auto” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically 
determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source 
conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, 
which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. If this happens, select 
the white balance setting that matches your shooting conditions (Daylight, 
Overcast, etc.)

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Metering
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
• The currently selected metering mode is indicated by an icon on the snapshot 
screen. No icon is displayed when “B Multi” is selected as the metering mode.
Specifying ISO Sensitivity (ISO)
Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
 MultiMulti-pattern metering divides the image into sections and 
measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. 
This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a 
wide range of shooting conditions.
 Center 
WeightedCenter weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus 
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want 
some level of control over contrast.
 SpotSpot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this 
metering method when you want exposure to be set according to 
the brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by 
surrounding conditions.
