■Avoiding camera shake

Camera shake refers to the effect of images appearing blurred or out of focus because the camera moved when the picture was taken. This is particularly likely to occur at slow shutter speeds and in macro shots. This applies particularly to macro shots with high magnifications, where the subject’s depth of field is extremely shallow and even slight camera movements when the shutter release button is pressed can have a large impact on the image.

In situations of this sort, place the camera on a stable surface to take the shot. Using the self-timer ( p.4-4) also is effective in preventing camera movement when the shutter release button is pressed.

[t] Taking Pictures Using the Self-Timer

Applicable mode: C/N/M

The self-timer is used for shots such as those where the photographer is included in the shot. In this mode, the shutter releases either 2 seconds or 10 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed. A self-timer delay of 2 seconds is useful for preventing camera shake when you are using Macro or Night View mode.

1 Switch the camera on and press O or Q on the mode button until the “C”, “N” or “M” icon lights on the mode select LED.

2 Press the MENU button K to display the menu icons.
