Continuous Shooting Scenes If you shoot a still image when the following scene icons are displayed, the camera will shoot continuously. If you press the shutter button halfway when one of the icons in the table below is displayed, one of the following icons will be displayed to inform you that the camera will shoot continuous images: [ ], [ ], or [W]. Smiling (including Babies) : Consecutive images are captured, and the camera analyzes details such as facial expressions to save the image determined to be the best. Sleeping (including Babies) : Beautiful shots of sleeping faces, created by combining consecutive shots to reduce camera shake and image noise. The AF assist beam will not light up, the flash will not fire, and the shutter sound will not be played. Children W: So you don't miss a photo opportunity of children who move around, the camera will capture three consecutive images for each shot. • In some scenes, expected images may not be saved, and images may not look as expected. • Focus, image brightness, and color are determined by the first shot. • When you want to shoot single images only, press the button, choose [ ] in the menu, and then select [ ]. Still Images Image Stabilization Icons Movies Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in [ ] and [ ] modes. Image stabilization for still images Image stabilization for movies, reducing strong camera shake, as when shooting while walking (Dynamic IS) Image stabilization for still images, when panning* Image stabilization for slow camera shake, such as when shooting movies at telephoto (Powered IS) Image stabilization for macro shots (Hybrid IS) No image stabilization, because the camera is mounted on a tripod or held still by other means. However, some shooting conditions will activate image stabilization. * Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake. • To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=95). In this case, an IS icon is not displayed. • In [ ] mode, no [ ] icon is displayed.
