Tips for preventing blur
If your hands or body move while holding the camera and pressing the shutter button, “Camera shake” occurs.
Camera shake occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those encountered in
(Night Portrait) or (Night
Scene) mode.
To reduce camera shake, set the self-timer to a 2-second delay and brace your arms against your sides after pressing the shutter button.
Notes
● When [Drive Mode] is set to [Self-timer(Cont)] or [Bracket: Cont.], [Flash Mode] is set to [Flash Off].
● When the battery level is low, or a memory card is full, the burst stops.
Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer

after the beep sounds.
