If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-
shake warning appears on the LCD monitor. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand
motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle. Although
the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, the following steps can
be taken:
Camera-shake warning
Flash range - auto-recording mode
The camera controls the flash output automatically. For
well-exposed images, the subject must be within the flash
range. Distance is given from the CCD plane. Because of
the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the
lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
0.23 - 6.1m (0.75 - 20ft.)
Approximate location of CCD plane
Wide-angle position
1.2 - 4.8m (3.9 - 15.7ft.)
Telephoto position
• Place the camera on a tripod.
• Use the built-in flash.
• Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position until the warning
disappears.
Camera-shake warning
If the flash output was sufficient to illuminate the subject, the OK indicator briefly replaces the flash-
mode indicator after the exposure. The access lamp blinks slowly while the flash is charging.
