Hints 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 is shot 
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.
