w Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• If jitter could occur because of slow
shutter speed, the jitter alert appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful how you hold the
camera. The use of the self-timer prevents
jittering caused by pressing the shutter
button when you are using a tripod (P44).
• 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.
– Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] and [NIGHT
SCENERY] in [NIGHT PORTRAIT]
mode (P58)
– [PARTY], [CANDLE LIGHT],
[STARRY SKY] and [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode (P59)
– When you set to a slow shutter speed
w Program shift
In program AE mode, you can change the
preset aperture value and shutter speed
without changing the exposure. This is
called program shift.
You can make the background more blurred
by decreasing the aperture value or record
a moving subject more dynamically by
slowing the shutter speed when taking a
picture in program AE mode.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then
use the joystick to activate program shift
while the aperture value and the shutter
speed are displayed on the screen (about
10 seconds).
• The program shift indication appears
on the screen when program shift is
activated.
• Program shift is canceled if the camera is
turned off or the joystick is moved up and
down until the program shift indication
disappears.

• If the exposure is not adequate when the
shutter button is pressed halfway, the
aperture value and shutter speed turns
red.
