∫ Direction detection function
Pictures recorded with the camera held
vertically are played back vertically
(rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.]
(P74) is set to [ON])
• Pictures may not be displayed vertically if
they were taken with the camera aimed up
or down.
• Motion pictures taken with the camera
held vertically are not displayed vertically.
∫ Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• If jitter could occur because of slow
shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful how you hold the
camera (P22). The use of the self-timer
prevents jittering caused by pressing the
shutter button when you are using a tripod
(P38).
• 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 (P34)
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P45)
– [NIGHT SCENERY] (P45)
– [PARTY] (P46)
– [CANDLE LIGHT] (P46)
– [STARRY SKY] (P48)
– [FIREWORKS] (P49)
– When the shutter speed is slowed in
[SLOW SHUTTER] (P66)
