    Procedure
    [r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Anti Shake
    You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
    movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, 
    when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.
    NOTE
    • Only camera shake correction can be used during FHD and STD movie recording.
    • Camera shake correction is not supported during High Speed Movie recording.
    • ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen 
    when you half-press the shutter button while “A On” is selected. These values will 
    appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after 
    you shoot a snapshot.
    • Shooting while “A On” is selected can cause an image to appear somewhat 
    coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
    • Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement 
    when movement is severe.
    • Anti Shake may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Turn 
    off Anti Shake.

    shooting snapshots.
    • When recording movies, the AF metering area is always “Í Spot”.
    •“Ë 
    Tracking” cannot be used in combination with some BEST SHOT scenes.
    •“I Multi” cannot be selected for the AF area while Face Detection is enabled.
    Specifying the Auto Focus Area (AF Area)
     IntelligentThe camera automatically determines the focus point on the 
    screen and focuses there (intelligent AF).
    • Face detection (page 93) operates automatically.
     SpotThis mode takes readings of a small area in the center of the 
    image. This setting works well with focus lock (page 89).
     MultiWhen you half-press the shutter button while this setting selected, 
    the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area from among 
    nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area where the 
    camera focuses will be displayed in green.

    Tips for Best Face Detection Results
    • The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
    • Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when 
    shooting with face detection.
    • Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
    – A face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
    – A profile or a face that is at an angle
    – A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large
    – A face in an area that is very dark
    – A face of a pet or some other non-human subject
    IMPORTANT!

    – Some BEST SHOT scenes
    – Movie mode (Including some BEST SHOT scenes that support High Speed 
    Movie recording)
    – High Speed CS with Prerecord CS (Including some BEST SHOT scenes that 
    support High Speed CS recording)
    • The “Focus” setting is always fixed at Q (Auto Focus) whenever “Face Detection” 
    is being used. If you want to change the “Focus” setting, first select “Off” for “Face 
    Detection”.

    Procedure
    [r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Lighting
    You can use this setting to optimize the balance between bright areas and dark areas 
    when shooting images.
    Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
     MultiMulti-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures 
    the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. This type 
    of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of 
    shooting conditions.
     Center 
    WeightedCenter weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus 
    area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want 
    some level of control over contrast.
     SpotSpot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering 
    method when you want exposure to be set according to the 
    brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by 
    surrounding conditions.
    Optimizing Image Brightness (Lighting)
    OnPerforms brightness correction. When this option is selected, it takes 
    longer for the image to be stored after the shutter button is pressed.
