Panasonic DMC-F2 - Manual (Page 34)

Basic

Subjects and recording conditions which are difficult to focus
• Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast
• When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects
• When it is dark or when jitter occurs
• When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and
near subjects (when the recordable range display has appeared in red).
Preventing jitter (camera shake)
When the jitter alert [0] appears, use a tripod or the self-timer (P 50 ).
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still
from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen.
We recommend using a tripod.
