P and T Modes P (Anti-Shake) Mode If the camera or the subject moves while the shutter is open, pictures can be blurred. In P (anti-shake) mode, vibration reduction (B 87) and BSS (Best Shot Selector; B 75) turn on and ISO sensitivity (B 71) is raised to a maximum of ISO 1600, reducing blur caused by camera shake when the flash is off or the camera is zoomed in. Use this mode to capture natural lighting or when shooting subjects at a distance from the camera, for example when taking pictures of animals or when trying to capture natural expressions on a portrait subject. To take pictures in anti-shake mode: 1 2 1/125 F4.3 9 Rotate mode dial to P. 1/125 F4.3 9 Focus (camera focuses on subject in center focus area) and shoot. Camera takes up to ten shots while shutter-release button is pressed and selects clearest picture (B 75). A P (Anti-Shake) Mode Pictures taken in anti-shake mode may be affected by "noise" in the form of bright, randomly-spaced bright dots. The flash turns off automatically and the self-timer can not be used. Slower shutter speeds are not available, and consequently T (high sensitivity) mode is recommended to reduce blur when the subject is dark. Date imprint (B 86) is not available in anti-shake mode. C Image Quality and Size Pressing the F button in P mode brings up a menu that contains options for adjusting image quality (B 66) and size (B 66). 36 P and T Modes
