By activating the Steady Shot function, blurring
of images due to camera shaking can be reduced.

Set “Steady Shot” (page 101) of the CAMERA

When you press the DISPLAY/BATT INFO

displayed on the screen.
You can turn it on/off with the Direct menu by
operating the joystick or the jog dial.
For details on the Direct menu, see “Direct Menu

Two operation modes are provided for Steady
Shot: Normal mode and Wide mode (for a wide
conversion lens).
When you attach the optional VCL-EX0877 wide
conversion lens, be sure to set “Wide
Conversion” (page 100) of the CAMERA SET
menu to “On.”

To reduce flickers, try either of the following two
methods:

the power-supply frequency
Activate the electronic shutter (page 42) and set
the shutter speed according to the power supply
frequency.
When the frequency is 50 Hz
Set the shutter speed to
1
/
50
or
1
/
100
seconds.
When the frequency is 60 Hz
Set the shutter speed to
1 /
60
or 1 /
120
seconds.
Using the Flicker-Reduction function
Set “Flicker Reduce” (page 98) of the CAMERA
SET menu to “Auto” or “On” and set
“Frequency” to the power-supply frequency (50
Hz or 60 Hz).
Note
If the frame rate selected for recording is close to
the power-supply frequency, flicker may not be
reduced sufficiently even if you activate the
Flicker-Reduction function. In such cases, use the
electronic shutter.
