Anti-shake Mode
Anti-shake Mode
Shooting in Anti-shake Mode
Anti-shake mode offers the following features:
• This mode reduces effects of camera shake or blurred subjects, and pro-
duces clear images.
• [Electronic VR] (c106) and [BSS] (best shot selector) are enabled. Elec-
tronic VR compensates blurred images. BSS is on, camera takes shots to a
maximum of ten, they are compared and sharpest picture (picture with
highest level of detail) is saved (c104).

(auto) mode.
• Flash mode and self-timer are set to off.
1Press d (F) (anti-shake).
The camera enters anti-shake mode. Press again to
return to the shooting mode selected with the mode-
selection menu.
2Frame the subject and take the
picture.
When vibration is detected during shooting,
automatic compensation is activated.
When compensation is complete, new copy
is stored. The L icon (
c8) for the new
copy is displayed when played back.
jNotes on Anti-shake Mode
• Shutter speed is limited to a certain value for dark subjects.
• Use of the high-sensitivity mode (c36) is recommended for shooting subjects in dark
places.
• Pictures taken in this mode may become somewhat grainy. 
• Even if [Date imprint] (c121) is enabled, the date will not be imprinted.
lImage Mode and Exposure Compensation in Anti-shake Mode

One-Touch Portrait Mode
Taking Pictures in the One-Touch Portrait Mode
For portrait shots, press the m button when the camera is in L (auto) mode,
high-sensitivity shooting mode, scene mode, movie mode, and anti-shake mode.
The following features are automatically activated:
• Portrait: The portrait subject stands out clearly.
• Face-priority AF: The camera automatically detects and focuses on faces.
• Advanced red-eye reduction: Reduces “red-eye” caused by the flash
(c33). Macro close-up is not available in one-touch portrait mode.

tion menu.
1Press m (one-touch portrait
mode).
A yellow K guide is displayed.
2Frame a picture using the K guide.
When the camera detects a face, the guide is dis-
played with a double yellow border.
When the camera detects more than one face, the
closest face is framed by a double border and the rest
by a single border. The camera focuses on the face
framed by the double border. If the camera loses its
ability to detect a face (for example, because the subject has looked away from
the camera), borders are no longer displayed and monitor display returns to that
shown in step 1.
3Press the shutter-release button
halfway.
Focus and exposure are set, and the double
border turns green.
4Press the shutter-release button the rest

menu. In addition to image mode and exposure compensation, portrait

the setup menu.
2The options chosen in this menu will be reset by switching to other shooting modes. 
jFace-Priority AF
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or
not the subject is facing the camera.
• The camera focuses continuously until a face is detected.
• If the yellow double border blinks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
camera was unable to focus. Release the button and try again.
• If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the center of the frame.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
