Note

  • In the [Night Scene], [Night Portrait] and [Fireworks] modes, the shutter speed is slower, so use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the image from blurring.
  • In the [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] mode, the shutter clicks 4 times and an image is recorded.
  • Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] when shooting the following subjects:
    • Subjects with erratic movement.
    • Subjects that are too close to the product.
    • Subjects with continuously similar patterns, such as the sky, a beach, or a lawn.
    • Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
  • In the case of [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting.
