Snapshot Tutorial
IMPORTANT!
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image
that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode to adjust the
aperture or shutter speed manually.
• Due to the characteristics of the camera’s semiconductor, slow shutter speeds can
cause digital noise to appear in the image. Because of this, the camera
automatically performs a noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is
1 second or slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that
noise will be generated in an image. Because of the time required for noise
reduction, the record operation takes longer for images shot at slower shutter
speeds. Do not perform any key operation while the image recording operation is in
progress.
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.
• Depending on the shutter speed setting and the recording mode you used, the
brightness of what appears on the monitor screen when you record the image may
be different from the brightness of the recorded image.
• Image AS (page 81) does not work in the S mode and M mode. You can, however,
turn on Camera AS, if you like.
• The recording mode changes to
t (Auto) automatically whenever you shoot a
movie with the “STD” or “HD” movie mode (page 64).
• The aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity settings configured with the
snapshot A Mode, S Mode, or M Mode are used when shooting a movie with the
“HS” movie mode (page 64). Note, however, that the shutter speed range is limited
in accordance with the frame rate specified for the high-speed movie.
• When recording with some modes, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands
to appear in the image.
