Tips for preventing blur

If your hands or body moves while holding the camera and pressing the shutter button, “Camera shake” occurs. Camera shake occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter

speed conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight Portrait) or (Twilight) mode. In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind.

Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at your side after pressing the shutter button.

Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface to hold the camera steady.

Note

You may not be able to set some functions depending on the selected REC mode. For details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes.” [Details]

Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer

Point the lens at yourself so your face is reflected in the LCD screen. The camera detects the subjects, and then the shutter operates. The camera determines the optimal composition and prevents faces from being cut out of the LCD screen. Do not move your camera after the beep sounds.
