■ Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• The jitter alert 1 appears when the
shutter speed is slow and the chances of
blurring are greater.
1
• When the jitter alert appears, take special
care with the shooting methods described
on P25, or use a tripod for best results.
By combining the use of a tripod with the
self-timer (P43), you can avoid blurring
caused when you press the shutter
button.
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly
in the following cases. Keep the camera
still from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the
screen. We recommend using a tripod.
