Preventing Camera Shake ---------------------------------------------------------

• Press the shutter release button gently to prevent camera shake.
• If you move the camera when pressing the shutter release button, the still

image might not come out clearly due to camera shake.
Camera shake tends to occur in the following cases:
-  When shooting in a dark place without using the flash
-  When using the zoom function
-  When [Time Exposure] (GP.75) is selected in the shooting menu (GP.71)

• When the J symbol appears on the picture display, this indicates that

camera shake may occur. To prevent camera shake, try any of the following.
- Selecting [On] for [Camera Shake Correction] (GP.76) in the shooting menu

(GP.71)

-  Setting the flash to [Auto] or [Flash On] (GP.31)
-  Raising the ISO setting (GP.84)
-  Using the self-timer (GP.32)
