camera shake

Camera shake occurs when the camera moves slightly during the exposure, resulting in a blurry or distorted image. It often happens when the camera isn't held steady, especially with longer exposure times or in low light conditions. Even small, involuntary movements, like breathing or trembling hands, can cause shake. To prevent it, photographers use tripods, faster shutter speeds, or image stabilization technology. Essentially, camera shake reduces the sharpness of the photo because the camera's movement blurs the details, making the image appear less clear.
