the 'this shot might blur warning on the screen to cut down the blur what is the best approach considering I wish the mode to be the best for ALL occasions I might 'happen upon' (which is why it is in the A A mode in the first place)

Select auto iso and select a minimum shutter speed in that setting to avoid motion blur.

The "best for all occasions" mode is to set it up for common occasions and be prepared to change it for the other, less common occasions.

So I recommend Auto ISO with Max ISO of 6400 and minimum shutter speed of 1/125 and be prepared to dial in a faster or slower shutter speed when the need arises.

I can't remember I the X100S has 1 or 3 Auto ISO settings, but if so make use of them by changing the shutter speeds.

TYVM, for your reply, the minimum shutter speed that I can get to through the ISO setting is 1/125 this I think will stop blur on most if not all shots, but oddly the avoid blur logo still is on the screen as a warning, I have not used the camera yet, but that seems 'ominous' !!

Any suggestions?....Thank you again!!

It surprises me that setting your camera on what amounts to full auto mode is giving you a blur warning unless you're trying to take a picture where there is very little light.

Anyway, it's pretty simple to make a quick adjustment to raise your shutter speed enough to prevent blur.

Aperture and ISO will automatically adjust to provide a usable image provided they're set on auto.

Naturally, if the light is unreasonably low the camera might set a rediculously high ISO.

Other than placing everything on auto mode, which it seems you're already doing, no single aperture, shutter, and ISO setting will be good for every situation and as you've already discovered, some extremely low or even high lighting situations will require some manual input.

Consult the manual to see what conditions make that icon appear but really just ignore it and judge for yourself based on shutter speed.

Remember that the camera will go slower than your minimum when there isn't enough light.
