Basic techniques for better images
When you look into the viewfinder, or you press the shutter button halfway down, the camera
adjusts the focus automatically (Auto Focus). Make it a habit to press the shutter button only
halfway down to confirm that the subject is visually in focus.
If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake.
