Notes about [Hand-held]

  • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
  • Continuous shooting may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.

Notes about [Tripod]

Vibration reduction is disabled regardless of the setup menu [Vibration reduction] setting. See “Using a tripod” when using a tripod.
