Subjects and recording conditions which are difficult to focus
• Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast
• When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects
• When it is dark or when jitter occurs
• When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and near
subjects
When the jitter alert [
] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P132), a tripod, the self-timer
(P78) or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) (P181).
• 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 screen. We recommend
using a tripod.
– Slow sync.
– Slow sync./Red-eye Reduction
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] and [NIGHT SCENERY] in the advanced scene mode (P101)
