Horizontal position

Vertical position

To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object such as a table, tree, or wall.

Although there are individual differences among photographers, the slowest recommended shutter speed for a handheld camera is generally 1/ (focal lengthx1.5). For example, it is 1/75 of a second for a focal length of 50mm and 1/150 of a second for 100mm. A tripod or OIS () function should be used for shutter speeds slower than this.

When using the tripod, do not use the OIS ( ) function as the image may be blurred due to the oscillation of the OIS sensor.

To reduce the camera shake while using a telephoto lens, use the tripod that is heavier than the total weigh of the camera and the lens.
