[. . . ] • When [ ] is set, focus prediction will be performed in a possible range to prioritise the burst speed. Therefore, if you try to take a picture of a subject that is moving fast, it may have trouble with focusing or it may take time to focus. • When [ 10 ] is set, the recording may be brighter or darker from the second picture depending on changes in the brightness of the subject. • This function is not available in the following cases: – When using Auto Bracket – Self Shot Mode – [Handheld Night Shot]/[HDR]/[Starry Sky] (Scene Mode) – [Impressive Art]/[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect]/[Soft Focus]/[Star Filter] (Creative Control Mode) • When the Self-Timer is used, the number of recordable pictures in Burst Mode is fixed to 3. (5 pictures in [ ]) • The flash setting is fixed to [Œ] (except for [ ]). [AF Assist Lamp] Applicable modes: AF assist lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter button is pressed halfway, making it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions. (Larger AF area is displayed depending on the recording conditions. ) Settings: [ON]/[OFF] • The effective distance of the assist lamp is approximately 1. 5 m (4. 9 feet). • Depending on the state of the zoom or subject, the effective distance may become shorter. • When you do not want to use the AF Assist Lamp A (e. g. when taking pictures of animals in dark places), set the [AF Assist Lamp] to [OFF]. In this case, it will become more difficult to focus on the subject. • The setting is fixed to [OFF] in the following cases. – [Scenery]/[Night Scenery]/[Handheld Night Shot]/[Sunset]/[Glass Through] (Scene Mode) - 102 - Recording [Red-Eye Removal] Applicable modes: When Red-Eye Reduction ([ ], [ ]) is selected, Red-Eye Removal is performed whenever the flash is used. The camera automatically detects red-eye and corrects the picture. Settings: [ON]/[OFF] • This function works only when the camera detects a face. • Under certain circumstances, red-eye cannot be corrected. [Stabilizer] Applicable modes: The camera detects jitter during recording and automatically corrects it, so you can record images with reduced jitter. When recording motion pictures, “Active Mode” (stabiliser for motion pictures) will automatically function. This decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while walking, etc. Settings: [ON]/[OFF] • The setting is fixed to [ON] in the following cases. – When recording motion pictures – [Handheld Night Shot] (Scene Mode) • The setting is fixed to [OFF] in the following case. – [Starry Sky] (Scene Mode) • The stabiliser function may not be effective in the following cases. Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button. – When the zoom magnification is high. – When taking pictures while following a moving subject. – When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places. • In “Active Mode”, stronger effect of the correction can be achieved at the wide end.
