Basic techniques for better images
Hints for preventing blur
The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called "Camera shake."
On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called "subject blur."
Camera shake
Cause
Your hands or body shake while you hold the
camera and press the shutter button, and the entire
screen is blurred.
Subject blur
Cause
Even though the camera is steady, the subject
moves during the exposure so the subject looks
blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
Notes
• The anti-blur function is enabled in the factory default settings so that camera shake is reduced
automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur (DSC-W120/W125/W130 only).
• Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed
conditions, such as those encountered in
case, shoot with the above tips in mind.
