This is often caused by movement of the camera at the precise moment that the shutter button is pressed. 2 To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both hands while keeping your elbows at your sides.

Using a card (optional) An optional card is available for this camera. Card basics The card corresponds to the film of a normal camera for recording the pictures you have taken. Pictures recorded and stored on the card can easily be erased, overwritten, and/or edited on a computer. Using a card with larger capacity increases the number of pictures you can record. You can use this space to write the contents of the card.

With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF.
Print settings (DPOF) TIPS Relation between printing and record mode when shooting The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per inch (dpi). Increasing the dpi when printing a picture produces a finer print. However, as the resolution of the picture is not changed, the size of the print will be smaller. You can enlarge the size of the print, but the picture will appear grainy.
