Note
• The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been
turned on or when the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without
stopping halfway.
In the following cases, we recommend that you mount the camera on a
tripod.
• Shooting without a flash under dark conditions.
• Shooting with slow shutter speeds, which are typically used in night-time
shooting.
• Shooting a close subject, such as in macro shooting.
• Shooting with a telescopic lens.
Note
• When using a tripod, deactivate the SteadyShot function because there is a potential
for malfunction of the SteadyShot function.
