Ê Things to watch out for using the DIS mode

will not activate.

fl uorescent lighting conditions, camera
shake warning indicator ( Ã ) will display. For best results only
take pictures in situations where the camera shake warning
indicator ( Ã ) is not displayed.
4. If the subject is moving, the captured image may be blurred.
5. Avoid moving the camera while the [Capturing!] message is

take a little longer for the camera to process and save the
images.
7. If the image size is ( ; ) or ( . ) ,the DIS mode can’t be selected.
å Smaller Aperture values make the object sharp but blur the
background. Larger Aperture values make both the object and
background sharp.
å High Shutter speeds can capture a moving object in a still image
as if the object is not moving. Low Shutter speeds can capture a
moving object with an ‘active’ effect.
