When the subject is not in focus

or
(see page 52)
When the Scene Select
or
function is enabled (see page 45)

During still image shooting, if the shutter
speed is slow and the possibility that the
image may be blurred due to camera
movement becomes high, the motion

monitor. In this case, use a tripod to
stabilize the camera when shooting, or
set the flash operation mode to
automatic (see page 34).
