TIPS

The picture looks blurred.

J The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly

during macro or ultra-telephoto shooting. Set the shutter speed higher or use
a monopod or tripod to stabilize the camera.

The aperture value indication does not stop blinking after the shutter speed is
changed.

J If the aperture value indication at the maximum value is blinking, set the ISO

sensitivity to a lower value or use a commercially-available ND filter (for
adjusting the amount of light).

g "ISO — Setting the desired sensitivity to

J If the aperture value indication at the minimum value is blinking, set the ISO

sensitivity to a higher value.
