Optimizing exposure

When you are taking a picture and press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera also measures the light level to set the proper exposure.

If the camera determines the scene will require a very long exposure, a shaking hand icon () appears. The camera will take the picture, but it may be blurry because it is difficult to hold the camera still for the length of time required. Try one of the following:

•Set the flash to Auto Flash or Flash On (see “Setting the flash” on page 16).

•Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface.

•If the subject is out of the flash range or you do not have a tripod, turn on Steady Photo (see Steady Photo under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 18).

•Turn on more light.

NOTE: When you are recording a video, the camera continuously updates exposure.
