Note• When you take pictures in dark places, picture noise may become noticeable. If picture noise becomes a problem, we recommend that you take pictures after increasing the setting for

Using one of these modes, jitter during picture taking is detected, and the camera

Note• The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.– When there is a lot of jitter.
– When the zoom magnification is high.
– In digital zoom range.
– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.
– When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.
Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.

Applicable modes: 
³
[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 corre ct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in 
red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
• The setting is not available when [INTELLIGENT ISO] is being used.
