Hints for preventing blur

Hohl the c:unera steadily, keeping your arms at your side. Also. you can stabilize the

camera by leaning against a tree or a building beside you. Using the 2-second delay self-

timer or a tripod may be effective. Also. using the flash in dark places is also

reconlnlended.

-- ISO = Recording sensitivity

Overexposure

= too nmch light

Whitish image

Correct exposure

Underexposure

= too little light
