Tips for preventing blur
If your hands or body moves 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
(Twilight Portrait) or (Twilight) mode.
In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind.
Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly
at your side after pressing the shutter button.
Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface to hold the camera steady.
Note
You may not be able to set some functions depending on the selected REC mode. For
details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes.”
Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer
Point the lens at yourself so your face is reflected in the LCD screen. The camera detects the
subjects, and then the shutter operates. The camera determines the optimal composition and
prevents faces from being cut out of the LCD screen. Do not move your camera after the beep
sounds.
