TIP: To lock focus for a set of pictures, let the camera find the
best focus using the Normal Focus setting, then switch to
Manual Focus. The focus will then be locked at that
distance until you adjust it manually or switch to another
focus setting.
Using Zoom
The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the
more that small movements of the camera are magnified (this
is called camera shake). So, especially at full telephoto zoom
(3x), you must hold the camera steady in order to take a
picture that is not blurry. If an icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View screen when the Shutter button is
pressed halfway down, you are moving the camera or the
scene needs more light; the picture will likely be blurry. Try
holding the camera closer to your body or against a steady
object, or set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. Also
try turning on the flash or turning on lights to add more light
to the scene.
TIP: Increasing ISO Speed can help reduce camera shake,
but can result in increased noise in your images (see ISO
Speed on page 78).
