minimum of noise.

which are combined into a single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still
until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.

contrast.
- One image is captured when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way.

the optimum scene mode from the list below and adjusts the shooting settings
accordingly.

scene mode. In this case, select another shooting mode (A24).
