No picture is
taken when
shutter-

Pictures are
blurred
• Camera shook during shot: turn vibration reduction (VR) on or
choose faster shutter speed. If shutter speed can not be in-
creased without causing underexposure:
◆
Use fl ash
◆
Raise sensitivity (ISO equivalency)
◆
Select larger aperture (smaller f/-number)
• To minimize blur at slow shutter speeds, mount camera on tri-
pod and use self-timer or remote control
• Lens setting does not match converter used.
