tically are played back vertically (rotated).
(Only when [ROTATE DISP.] (P74) is set to

held vertically are not displayed vertically.

Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• If jitter could occur because of slow shut-
ter speed, the jitter alert
appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we recom-
mend using a tripod. If you cannot use a
tripod, be careful how you hold the cam-
era (P22). The use of the self-timer pre-
vents jittering caused by pressing the
shutter button when you are using a tripod
(P38).
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly in
the following cases. Keep the camera still
from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the
monitor. We recommend using a tripod.
– Slow sync./Red-eye reduction (P34)
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P45)
– [NIGHT SCENERY] (P45)
– [PARTY] (P46)
– [CANDLE LIGHT] (P46)
– [STARRY SKY] (P48)
– [FIREWORKS] (P49)
– When the shutter speed is slowed in
[SLOW SHUTTER] (P66)
