SteadyShot (DSC-W710)
Selects the anti-blur mode.
1. MENU
(SteadyShot) desired mode
(Off)
Does not use anti-blur mode.
(Auto)
Activates the anti-blur function automatically when shooting conditions are likely to
cause camera shake.
You can stabilize images even when zooming up on a far subject.
Tips for preventing blur
The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called “Camera shake.” On the other
hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called “subject blur.” Besides, camera shake
and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those
encountered in
(Night Portrait) or (Night Scene) mode. In such case, shoot with the below tips in
mind.
Camera shake
Your hands or body shake while you hold the camera and press the shutter button, and the entire
screen is blurred.
Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface to hold the camera steady.
Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at your
side after pressing the shutter button.
Subject blur
Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure so the subject is shot
blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically using the anti-blur
function. However, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur.
Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection.
Select a high ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before
the subject moves.
