Camera Shake

At slow shutter speeds, a icon appears in the monitor. Pictures taken at these speeds may be blurred by inadvertent camera movement (“camera shake”). While use of a tripod is recommended when this icon is displayed, other methods that may be successful in preventing blurring at a given setting are indicated by the number of stars in the “Camera Shake” rating:
