Preventing Jitter (Camera shake)
When
Jitter appears, use
[Stabilizer], a tripod or the self-timer.
- Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following
cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button
is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We
recommend using a tripod.

- Slow Sync. / Red-Eye Reduction.
- Scene Guide Mode: Clear Nightscape / Cool Night Sky /
Warm Glowing Nightscape / Artistic Nightscape / Glittering

- When you set to a slow shutter speed.
- We recommend setting the O.I.S. switch to off when using a
tripod.
- We recommend taking pictures with the viewfinder when
panning in
Panning.
- The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically
functions while recording motion pictures. This decreases the
jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while
zooming or walking, etc.
- The recording range may become narrower.
- If you record a motion picture with Rec Quality set to
VGA/4M/30p, the stabilizer function may be less effective
compared to other picture quality settings.
- The angle of view for the motion picture recording changes
if you use the O.I.S. switch during the recording.

following cases. Be careful of camera jitter when you press the
shutter button.

- 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.
- The panning effect in
Panning is more difficult
to achieve in the following cases:
- In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a
summer’s day.
- When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th of a
second.
- When you move the camera too slowly because the subject
is moving slowly. The background will not become a blur.
- When the camera does not keep up with the subject
satisfactorily.
