ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM
37
When Anti-shake is off, the white indicator appears to warn the shutter speed
is too long for the camera to be safely handheld.
The yellow indicator appears when the Anti-shake system is activated, but the
shutter speed is too slow for it to be effective.
The blue indicator appears when the Anti-shake system is activated.
If the yellow or white warnings appears, place the camera on a tripod, use the built-in
flash, increase the camera sensitivity (ISO) (p. 74), or use a wide-angle zoom position.
If the Anti-shake indicator turns red, the camera is overheating because of operating
and ambient temperatures. The Anti-shake system will turn off automatically. Allow the
camera to cool before using Anti-shake.
The Anti-shake system is less effective at short subject distances or when using the
macro function (p. 49). The use of a tripod is recommended. Anti-shake is not effective
with a tripod mounted camera; turn off the Anti-shake function to conserve power.
The Anti-shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake, a
slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion. Camera shake is
more pronounced at the telephoto setting than at the wide-angle.
Anti-shake is employed when the shutter speed falls below a
certain limit depending on the focal length in use. The
effectiveness of Anti-shake depends on the shutter speed in use
and the degree of shaking. The system may not work with moving
subjects or when the camera is panned.
When the system is active, the Anti-shake button glows (1). Anti-
shake can be turned off and on by pressing the button.
Frame the subject as described in the basic operation section.
Press the shutter-release button partway down to focus and set
the exposure; an Anti-shake indicator is displayed when active.
Confirm the image has stabilized on the monitor and press the
shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
