You can reduce image blurring in dark locations or moving subjects by increasing ISO sensitivity (select a larger number).

Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur. However, the image tends to become noisy. Low ISO sensitivity Records a smoother image. However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker. zHints for preventing blur Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure and is captured blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically, however, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur. Subject blur occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions. In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind. • Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before the subject moves. • Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection.
