In Anti-blur or Natural light mode, when you have been used for long periods in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, it will lower your image quality and streaking may also be visible in your images. If this occurs,
turn the camera off several times to prevent heating the camera. Setting High-speed shooting mode to “OFF” is
effective.
