∫ Subjects and recording conditions
which are difficult to focus
•
Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast
• When the recordable range display has appeared in red.
• When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects
• When it is dark or when jitter occurs
• When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and near
subjects
When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P65), a tripod or the self-timer
(P41).

Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the
moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend
using a tripod.

Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only
when [ROTATE DISP.] (P83) is set to [ON])
•
Pictures may not be displayed vertically if they were taken with the camera aimed up or down.
• Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed vertically.
When the subject is not in focus (such as when it is not in the centre of
