C When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dark surroundings with the flash mode (A 57) set to W (off)
- When zooming in on the subject
• Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 94) when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
