●●When you record pictures using the zoom, jitter often occurs. Record pictures using the following methods to reduce jitter.

••Use a tripod and self-timer to record pictures.

••Hold the unit in a stable position and use a viewfinder to record pictures. ••Increase ISO Sensitivity or use [Shutter-Priority] Mode to record pictures with a

faster shutter speed.

●●When you record motion pictures using high zoom magnification, jitter may occur for several seconds after recording starts. Using self-timer is effective for preventing jitter of the camera. (→86)
