zHints for preventing blur

The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called “Camera shake.” On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called “subject blur.” Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight Portrait) or (Twilight) mode. In such case, shoot with the below tips in mind.

Camera shake

Your hands or body shake while you hold the camera and press the shutter button, and the entire screen is blurred.

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

•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.

Subject blur

Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure so the subject looks blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically using the anti-blur function. However, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur.

•Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection.

•Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before the subject moves.
