Fully Automatic Shooting

•If the shutter speed indicator blinks, the shutter speed may be too slow to keep the image from being blurred by camera shake. Be careful to hold the camera steady and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)

•In the < > mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
