How To Hold The Camera - Pentax IQZoom 700 Operating Manual

3. HOW TO HOLD THE CAMERA
When shooting, hold the camera securely with both
hands. Keep the camera as still as possible, and gently
press the shutter release button. (If pressed forcefully, the
camera is likely to shake, and the picture will be blurred.)
Try to brace your elbows against your body, or support
yourself and the camera against a stable, stationary
object, such as a wall.
When using flash with the camera vertically positioned,
hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens.
Caution:
Do not hold the zoom lens because it moves back and
forth when zooming.
Note:
• Do not place your fingers or hair on the lens, autofocus
window, sensor window, flash, etc.
