●
When you record pictures using the zoom, jitter often occurs. Record pictures using
the following methods to reduce jitter.
• Use a tripod and self-timer to record pictures.
• Hold the unit in a stable position and use a viewfinder to record pictures.
• Increase ISO Sensitivity or use [Shutter-Priority] Mode to record pictures with a
faster shutter speed.
●
When you record motion pictures using high zoom magnification, jitter may occur
for several seconds after recording starts. Using self-timer is effective for preventing
jitter of the camera. (→86)
