you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”
Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of

Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is
difficult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object
(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot and take the picture.

Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER] (p. 28)
When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the
CCD *1 shifts to correct for camera shake even if
the ISO speed is not increased. This function is
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom
magnification.
*1 A device that takes light received through the
lens and converts it into electric signals.
Select [
jSPORT] in  mode (p. 28)
The [jSPORT] mode uses a fast shutter speed and
can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.
Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO speed is selected, pictures can be taken
at a high shutter speed even at locations where a
flash cannot be used.
