TIPS
The picture looks blurred.
T The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly during macro or
ultra-telephoto shooting. Set the shutter speed higher or use a monopod or tripod to
stabilize the camera.
The aperture value indication does not stop blinking after the shutter speed is changed.
T If the aperture value indication at the maximum value is blinking, set the ISO sensitivity to a
lower value or use an ND filter (for adjusting the amount of light).
