when taking pictures especially in dark places.
> We recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures.
> We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow shutter
speed.
• When a moving subject is recorded with the electronic shutter, the subject may appear
distorted on the picture.
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] on the
[Setup] menu.
