Question :
How can I improve images taken indoors or in low light?
Answer:
If you see the RED blinking camera symbol  on the LCD screen after you press shutter button half way down to focus, this is the camera shake warning. This indicates that there may not be enough light to steadily hold the camera to take a picture or freeze the movement of your subject. In this type of condition, we recommend the built-in flash to be popped-up, allowing for a faster shutter speed to avoid a blurry image. If flash use is not possible, a tripod or other stable surface may be needed to avoid getting a blurry image in situations where stabilizing the camera would improve the image.
