Camera shake and shutter speed
Preventing camera shake is crucial when taking photographs. In
general, you should set the shutter speed faster than 1/60 sec. Use of a
tripod or Speedlight (pages 30, 78) is recommended for shooting at
shutter speeds slower than 1/60 sec.
NOTE; Composing frame
This camera’s viewfinder frame shows approximately 92% of the image
actually exposed on the film frame. Therefore, the actual exposed frame
is somewhat larger than the image you see through the viewfinder. Note
that the edges of a negative film are partially cropped by most labs.
