E
• Stabilizer is disabled during movie recording.
• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen
when you half-press the shutter button while “On” is selected. These values will
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after
you shoot a snapshot.
• Shooting while “On” is selected can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser
than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• Stabilizer may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement
when movement is severe.
• Stabilizer may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Turn off
Stabilizer.

selected, the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area
from among nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area
where the camera focuses will be displayed in green.
