Taking pictures without blurring
There are several factors that can cause the picture to blur.
The subject is too dark
• Change the shutter speed to match the brightness of the subject. If the shutter
speed is set low to shoot a dark subject, blurring is likely to occur if the subject
moves. In addition, when the flash is turned off in
g (Scene mode), the
shutter speed becomes slower.
Mount the camera on a tripod. Using the remote control (optional) to close the
shutter is also effective for reducing blurring.
There are also ways to shoot with [
q (D IMAGE STABILIZATION)] under
g (Scene mode). The sensitivity of the ISO changes automatically,
allowing you to take pictures in low light situations with the flash off while
holding the camera.
The camera or your hand moves when pressing the shutter button.
• Press the shutter button gently or hold the camera securely with both hands.
Taking pictures with less flash
The flash will light up automatically when it is not bright enough. If the subject
is too far away, the flash may have no effect. Here is how to take pictures
without the flash in this type of situation.
Set
g (Scene mode) to [q (D IMAGE STABILIZATION)]
• As the ISO sensitivity increases automatically, you can hand hold the camera
and take pictures in low light situations with the flash off.
Increase the [ISO] setting
• Increase the value of the [ISO] setting. The image may become grainy.
