CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera-shake warning will appear on the monitors. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto setting of the lens than at the wide-angle setting. The warning appears at approximately the recipro- cal of the focal length used; if the lens is set at 100mm, the camera shake warning will appear at 1/100 second. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, the following steps can be taken:

•Place the camera on a tripod.

•Use the built-in flash (p. 21).

•Increase the camera sensitivity (ISO) (p. 61).

•Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position.
