Hints for preventing blur
Hold the camera steady, keeping your arms at your side. It is recommended to lean 
against a tree or a building nearby to steady yourself. Shooting with a 2-second delay 
self-timer, activating the anti-blur function, or using a tripod is also effective. Use the 
flash when you shoot under a low light condition.
