How to hold the COOLPIX 300
When taking photographs with the COOLPIX 300, you can frame your
shots using either the viewfinder or the touch-panel display. Using the
viewfinder with the touch-panel display's cover closed saves battery power
and allows you to support the camera with both hands, which prevents the
camera from shaking and so blurring your photographs. When framing
pictures through the viewfinder, close the touch-panel cover and hold the
camera as shown below.
When framing photographs in the touch-panel display, hold the camera and
stylus as shown below.
Note: When using the flash, be careful not to place your finger over the
flash window.
