The camera shake icon that looks like a hand keeps flashing and
will not go away. Whether the Steady feature is turned on or
not, the flashing warning icon appears when the camera chooses a
shutter speed that may be too slow for the intended . The
shutter speed chosen by the camera is in part due to the focal
length of the lens and the ISO setting. It is simply an
indication for you to be aware that the shutter speed being used
may cause unintentional blur. This is normal operation. If the
Steady feature is turned on it is possible for the camera to
use slower shutter speeds than when it is off. The actual shutter
speed at which the icon begins flashing, however, depends on the
focal length of the lens. At short focal lengths (wide angle) the
icon flashes when a relatively slow shutter speed is selected.
When shooting with a long focal length (telephoto) the icon
begins flashing at faster shutter speeds. You can still take a
picture even though the icon is displayed. However, since there
is a chance of image blur, make sure you are holding the camera
as still as possible or consider ing the camera to a tripod.
The icon appears most often when shooting in areas that do not
have sufficient lighting. Therefore, selecting a higher ISO
setting or using a flash may cause the camera to choose a faster
shutter speed and prevent the icon from flashing. NOTES: The icon
only flashes in the modes that automatically set the shutter
speed. It does not appear when using the Shutter Priority (S) or
Manual (M) mode. The background of a picture is dark and
underexposed when using a flash. To avoid dark backgrounds when
taking a picture of your subject, set the camera to use the Slow
Sync flash mode. This setting illuminates your subject with the
flash and keeps the shutter open a little longer (by slowing down
the shutter speed) to allow ambient light to brighten the
background. NOTES: • It is possible to take very good hand-held
photos with the Slow Sync mode. However, since a slower shutter
speed is used, the image is more susceptible to blur because of
camera shake. Consider using a tripod if you experience unwanted
blur when using the Slow Sync mode. • When using an external
flash unit, another method of illuminating both foreground and
background is to use bounce flash. This is done by tilting the
flash head upwards to bounce the light from the ceiling. The
pictures are too white or overexposed Depending on the mode with
which you are shooting, overexposed pictures can normally be
corrected by simply adjusting a few settings. First, if you are
close to your subject and have not already done so, try shooting
without the flash. If shooting in AUTO, Shutter Priority (S),
Aperture Priority (A), Program (P), or one of the scene selection
modes, decrease the exposure compensation. Although the camera
automatically chooses the exposure value when shooting with these
modes, sometimes certain lighting can cause the camera to select
an insufficient setting. In these situations, you can override
and lower the exposure value if necessary. When shooting in the
Manual (M) mode, you have even more flexibility for correcting
white, overexposed pictures. Try doing one or more of the
following: 1. Use a lower ISO setting like 100 or 200. 2.
Increase the shutter speed. 3. Close the aperture of the lens by
using a higher f-stop number. Something else to keep in mind is
the metering mode you are using; the metering mode is a method
the camera uses to measure the brightness of a subject. You may
want to consider using a different metering mode. • Multi
segment: This mode divides the whole screen into multiple
segments to measure light. It is suitable for general shooting,
including shooting into direct sunlight. • Center weighted: While
emphasizing the central area of the screen, this mode measures
the average brightness of the entire screen. If you shoot
directly into the sunlight or the subject is not in the center of
the image, you may need to use exposure compensation. • Spot:
This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle in the
center of the frame. It is suitable for shooting a subject with
strong contrast. NOTE: If model-specific information is required
to complete any of the recommendations in this solution, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals,
Specifications and Warranty information for your Sony product is
available online. AVCHD video is not recognized or cannot be
transferred to a Macintosh computer.p> Macintosh computers do not
support AVCHD video recorded in 60p (1080 and 720). If you want
to easily transfer video to a Mac, we recommend changing the
format on the camera. Depending on the camera, you can
change it to MP4 or AVCHD such as 24i, 60i, etc. Alternatively,
you can manually copy videos recorded in 60p (1080 and 720) to
your computer. Media converter software is available for Mac
computers that may allow you to transfer video that was recorded
in 60p. This software is available at Sourceforge website.
IMPORTANT: • AVCHD video is only supported with iMovie 10.0
software or newer. It is recommended the iMovie software on the
computer be updated to the newest version to ensure
compatibility. • The computer requires an Intel Core Duo
processor or better to support AVCHD video. • If both AVCHD and
MPEG2 or MP4 formatted movies are recorded, the AVCHD movies may
not be recognized. If this happens, import all the MP4 or MPEG2
movies to the computer and then delete them from the camera.
Afterwards, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable so the AVCHD
movies can be recognized. • Power Mac G5 does not support the
AVCHD format.
