Camera Shake Indicator
If the green and orange lamps blink alternately when you hold the
camera, it means that the camera is shaking and blurring may result.
Hold the camera securely until the lamps stop blinking; then press the
shutter release button.
We recommend to fix the camera by using a tripod, when shooting
subjects in dark places using the flash-off mode, night scene flash
mode, or red-eye reduction night scene flash mode.
