37 Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
When you press the Shutter button, the camera also
measures the light level to set the proper exposure. If the
camera determines there is not enough light and the camera
will require a very long exposure, the icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View screen.
• Try setting the flash to Auto or Flash on (see Setting the
Flash on page 40) to increase the lighting.
• Try turning on more light, if that is possible.
• If none of these solutions are possible, you can still take
the picture, but you should set the camera on a tripod or
stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
If the camera is set to the Macro shooting mode and the
camera cannot auto focus, the Live View screen displays an
error message and the focus brackets flash red. In these
cases, the camera will not take the picture.
• If the subject for the picture is not within the Macro range
(20 to 50 cm or 8 to 20 in), either move the camera
within the Macro range or set the camera to a shooting
mode other than Macro (see Using the Shooting
Modes on page 42).
• If the icon of a shaking hand appears in the Live View
screen, try one of the techniques listed above for scenes
requiring a long exposure time.
