Things to watch out for using the DUAL IS mode
1. The digital zoom will not operate in the DUAL IS mode.
2. If the lighting conditions are brighter than
fl
uorescent lighting
conditions, the DUAL IS will not activate.
3. If the lighting condition is darker than in
fl

For best results only take pictures in situations where the
camera shake warning indicator (

may take a little longer for the camera to process and save the
images.
