Shooting In Anti-Shake Mode - Nikon COOLPIX P5100 User Manual

Anti-shake Mode

Shooting in Anti-shake Mode

In anti-shake mode, [Vibration reduction] (A 128) is enabled, and [BSS] is selected
for [Continuous] (A 101). In addition, ISO sensitivity is automatically raised to 1600
depending upon the brightness of the subject, and shutter speed is faster than
with A (auto) mode, under the same lighting conditions, to reduce blurring
caused by camera shake or subject movement. The flash is disabled. This mode is
most effective when shooting under natural light. Combine it with the telephoto
zoom when you are forced to shoot from a distance, in order to capture a fleeting
expression on a portrait subject or to photograph an animal without frightening it
off.
