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 (Night Portrait) or (Night Scene) mode.

To prevent blurring, 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.

Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer

Point the lens at yourself so that the specified number of faces appear in the screen and the shutter operates. Do not move your camera after the beep sounds.
