NOTE

• In [ Sports] () and [Handheld NightScene] () shots may look grainy because the ISO speed is increased to suit the shooting conditions.
• Subjects appear larger in [Handheld NightScene] () mode compared to other modes.
• Because the camera will shoot continuously in [Handheld NightScene] () mode, hold it steady while shooting.
• In [Handheld NightScene] () mode , excessive camera shake or certain shooting conditions may prevent you from obtaining the desired results.
• In [Fireworks] () mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other means to hold the camera still.
• In the [Super Vivid] (), [Old Poster] (), [Fish-eye Effect] (), [Miniature Effect] (), [Toy Camera Effect] (), and [Soft Focus Effect] () modes, try taking some test shots first, to make sure you obtain the desired results.
