Zooming While Recording a Movie
The zoom can be used while recording a movie.
In the setup menu, select 1 DIGITAL or 2 OPTICAL
(pg. 100).
1 DIGITAL: Image quality may deteriorate when
the zoom is used.
2 OPTICAL: The sound of the camera zooming
may be heard when playing movie.
Avoiding Blurred Pictures
If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera
shake can be reduced using the L DUAL IS MODE
option in the setup menu (pg. 100).
Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect. Note that
blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We
recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a
tripod.
