∫ Jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button, especially when fully
zoomed into the subject.
• When jitter could occur because of slow
shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful of how you hold
the camera (P28). The use of the
self-timer (P53) prevents jittering at
pressing the shutter button when you are
using a tripod.
• Especially in the following cases, the
shutter speed will be slower. Keep the
camera still from the moment you press
the shutter button until the picture appears
on the screen. We recommend using a
tripod.
– Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [ ]
(P49)
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P74)
– [NIGHT SCENERY] (P74)
– [CANDLE LIGHT] (P76)
– [PARTY] (P77)
– [FIREWORKS] (P77)

– When you set to a slower shutter speed
(P65, 66)
∫ Program shift
In Program AE mode, you can change the
preset aperture value and the shutter
speed under the same exposure. This is
called Program shift.
By this function, you can make the
background more blurred (by decreasing
the aperture value) or record the moving
subject more dynamically (by setting to
slow shutter speed) in Program AE mode.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then
rotate the rear dial to activate the Program
shift while the aperture value and the
shutter speed are displayed on the screen
(for about 10 seconds).
• When the Program shift is activated, the
Program shift indication B appears on
the screen.
