If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera
can be safely hand held, the camera-shake warning appears
on the LCD monitor. Camera shake is slight blurring caused
by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the
telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle.
Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be
released. If the warning appears, the following steps can be
taken:
• Place the camera on a tripod.
• Use the built-in flash.
• Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position until the
warning disappears.
CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING
FLASH RANGE - AUTO-RECORDING MODE
The camera controls the flash output automatically.
For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Distance is given from the
CCD plane. Because of the optical system, the flash
range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle
position as it is at the telephoto position.
0.23 - 6.1m (0.75 - 20ft.)

Camera-shake warning
If the flash output was sufficient to illuminate the subject, the OK indicator briefly replaces
the flash-mode indicator after the exposure. The access lamp blinks slowly while the flash
is charging.
