automatic exposure system that sets the
shutter speed and aperture.
The exposure setting (shutter speed and

Preventing Camera Shake
Hand-held camera movement during the moment of exposure is called
camera shake. It can cause blurred pictures. To prevent camera shake,
note the following:
Hold the camera steady.
Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then slowly press the
shutter button completely.
o
If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway rst, or if
you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely immediately,
the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture.
o
Even during menu display or image playback, you can go back to shooting-
ready state by pressing the shutter button halfway.
