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.”

Subject blur
• The anti-blur function is enabled in the factory default settings so that the camera shake is reduced
automatically. However, this is not effective for 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 that case,
shoot with the above tips in mind.
Cause:
Your hands or body shake while you hold the
camera and press the shutter button, and the
entire screen is blurred.
What you can do to reduce the blurring:
• 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.
Cause:
Even though the camera is steady, the subject
moves during the exposure so the subject looks
blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
What you can do to reduce the blurring:
• 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.
