Hold the camera correctly.

• Put one foot forward slightly to keep your upper body steady.
• Hold the camera so that your right hand is firmly around the grip and use
your left hand to support the lens.
Important
Camera shake and shutter speed
Camera shake is something to be avoided when taking pictures. As a general
guide when taking pictures, the shutter speed should be faster than [1/focal
length of the lens mounted] seconds. For example, with a 50 mm lens, you
should use a shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec. Use a tripod for slow shutter
speeds.
Note
Notes on Composing Your Shot
As a percentage of the actual image photographed, the image area visible
through the viewfinder of the FinePix S1 Pro (the viewfinder coverage) is about
90% vertically and about 93% horizontally. In other words, the picture actually
taken is slightly larger than the field of view in the viewfinder.
