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 reduce camera shake, set the self-timer to a 2-second delay and brace your arms against your sides after pressing the shutter button.
