Tips for preventing blur
If your hands or body move while holding the camera and pressing the shutter
button, “Camera shake” occurs.
Camera shake occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed
conditions, such as those encountered in
(Night Portrait) or (Night Scene)
mode.
To reduce camera shake, set the self-timer to a 2-second delay and brace your
arms against your sides after pressing the shutter button.
Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer
Point the lens at yourself so that the selected number of faces is reflected in the
screen. The shutter operates automatically. Do not move your camera after the
beep sounds.
