Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the
picture. In addition, blurring is reduced when taking pictures in the
h mode.
The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:
• When you zoom at a high magnification to shoot the picture
• When the shutter speed is set low to shoot a dark subject
• When the flash cannot be used or a low shutter speed set shooting mode is
selected.
The flash fires automatically when insufficient light is available and may cause
your image to blurry.
When taking pictures in low lights without the flash, set the flash mode to [
$]
(flash off).

There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures
• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater
the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of
unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the
picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow
shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the
ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the shooting
conditions.
g”ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 19)
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.
Adjusting [F] toward [+] makes the subject closer to their real shades.
Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust
toward [–]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness
(exposure) that was intended.
