Shooting a clear image without camera shake
Preparing the camera
Notes
• The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been
turned on, right after you point the camera towards a subject, or when the shutter
button has been pressed all the way down without stopping halfway.
• When using a tripod, deactivate the SteadyShot function because there is a potential
for malfunction of the SteadyShot function.
Stabilize your upper body and take a position that keeps the
camera from moving.
