*Camera Shaking Warning
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-
shake warning will appear on the LCD monitor and the orange focus LED will blink slowly. Camera
shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto
setting of the lens than at the wide-angle setting. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still
be released. If the warning appears, the following steps can be taken:
Place the camera on a tripod
Use the built-in flash
Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position until the warning disappears.
