Tips for preventing blur
If your hands or body move while holding the camera and pressing the shutter button, “Camera
shake” occurs.
Camera shake occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those
encountered in
(Night Portrait) or (Night Scene) mode.
To reduce camera shake, set the self-timer to a 2-second delay and brace your arms against your
sides after pressing the shutter button.
Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer
Point the lens at yourself so that the selected number of faces is reflected in the screen. The shutter
operates automatically. Do not move your camera after the beep sounds.
