Still Images
• A blinking [
] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.
•If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash” (=139).
•The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the range of focus (shooting range), see “Lens” (=138).
•To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit when shooting in low-light conditions.
•A blinking [ ] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.
•Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness, and colors used.
• You can change how long images are displayed after shots (=53).

• Keep your fingers away from the |
|
microphone while recording movies. |
|
Blocking the microphone may prevent |
|
audio from being recorded or may |
Microphone |
cause the recording to sound muffled. |
•Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when recording movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded.
•Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant camera shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting, adjust the image stabilization setting (=55).
• Audio recording is monaural.

Image Stabilization Icons
Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in [
] mode.
Image stabilization for still images (Normal)
Image stabilization for still images when panning* (Panning)
Image stabilization for angular camera shake and shift-shake in macro shots (Hybrid IS).
For movies, [
] is displayed and [
] image stabilization is also applied.
Image stabilization for movies, reducing strong camera shake, as when recording while walking (Dynamic)
Image stabilization for slow camera shake, such as when recording movies at telephoto (Powered)
No image stabilization, because the camera is mounted on a tripod or held still by other means. However, during movie recording, [
] is displayed, and image stabilization to counteract wind or other sources of vibration is used (Tripod IS).
*Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.
• To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=54). In this case, an IS icon is not displayed.

A variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects subjects you are aiming the camera at.
•A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face) determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects within a certain range to keep them in focus.
However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame will remain on the screen.
•When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).
• Try shooting in [ ] mode (=44) if no frames are displayed,
if frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are displayed on the background or similar areas.
