a monopod or tripod to stabilize the camera.

changed.
J If the aperture value indication at the maximum value is blinking, set the ISO
sensitivity to a lower value or use a commercially-available ND filter (for
adjusting the amount of light). g "ISO — Setting the desired sensitivity to

J If the aperture value indication at the minimum value is blinking, set the ISO
sensitivity to a higher value. g "ISO — Setting the desired sensitivity to
