When does camera shake tend to happen,
and
what causes it to occur?
Perhaps you've encountered blurred images when enlarging pictures: photos that look fine in
smaller postcard sizes appear quite fuzzy 01 greater size. In fact, camero shoke happens more
frequently thon you'd think. There are several reasons for occidental blurring. One cause is the use
of 0 telephoto lens, which lets you shoot smoll subjects ot higher mognificotion, ond olso turns smoll
vibrations during shooting into heavy blurring of images. Another cause is shooting in dark places.
When taking pictures at lower shutter speeds, in on unsteady posture, or on on unstable platform
such as a train or a boal, blurring is quite common.
How can you best protect your pictures
from camera shake and blurring?
The most certoin woy to prevent comero shoke is the use of a tripod. Additionally, use of flash can
effectively minimize blurring when shooting in low lighting conditions. However, it's inconvenient to
carry around a heavy, bulky tripod, and in some places, tripod use isn't even allowed. What's
more, the use of a flash may sometimes spoil the mood of a shooting scene by disrupting the
natural lighting nuances of the atmosphere. In any of these situations, Conan IS Lenses are the
definitive solution to blurring problems. Just a single IS Lens can help you capture imoges in a
