Basic techniques for better images

Hints for preventing blur

The camera moved accidentally when you took the picture. This is called “Camera shake.”

On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the picture, it is called “subject

blur.”

Camera shake

Cause

Your hands or body shake while you hold the

camera and press the shutter button, and the entire

screen is blurred.

What you can do to reduce the blurring

• Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat, stable

surface to hold the camera steady.

• Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and

stabilize your camera by holding your shooting

arm firmly at your side after pressing the shutter

button.

Subject blur

Cause

Even though the camera is steady, the subject

moves during the exposure so the subject looks

blurred when the shutter button is pressed.

What you can do to reduce the blurring

• 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.

Notes

• The anti-blur function is enabled in the factory default settings so that the camera shake is reduced

automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur.

• Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed

conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight) or (Twilight Portrait) mode. In that case,

shoot with the above tips in mind.
