Camera Shake
At slow shutter speeds, a icon appears in the monitor. Pictures taken at
these speeds may be blurred by inadvertent camera movement (“camera
shake”). While use of a tripod is recommended when this icon is displayed,
other methods that may be successful in preventing blurring at a given setting
are indicated by the number of stars in the “Camera Shake” rating:
✯
Support the camera steadily in both hands with your elbows against
your torso.
✯✯ Place the camera on a flat, level surface such as a wall or table.
Use for shots that include details of the background be-
hind the main subject, or to capture the effects of candle-
light and other indoor background lighting.
