Hints for preventing blur
Hold the camera steadily, keeping your arms at your side. Also, you can stabilize the 
camera by leaning against a tree or a building beside you. Using the 2-second delay self-
timer or a tripod, or turning on the anti-blur function may be effective. Also, using the 
flash in dark places is also recommended.
