    • C
      Charles BurkeSep 6, 2025
      If your pictures are blurred when taken in shaded areas or indoors, it's because the shutter speed becomes slow, and the optical Image Stabilizer function may not work properly. Hold the camera firmly with both hands to take pictures. When the slow shutter is set, using a tripod is recommended.
