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

(Night Portrait) or

(Night Scene) mode.

To prevent blurring, 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.

operates. Do not move your camera after the beep sounds.
