Basic Operations
How to hold the camera
Hold the camera firmly with both hands, keep your arms still at your side and stand
with your feet slightly apart.
• We recommend using the supplied shoulder strap D to avoid dropping the camera.
• Do not cover the flash screen when a flash unit is attached and switched on (>146), the
AF assist lamp A, the microphones B, or the speaker C with your fingers or other
objects.
• Make sure you hold the camera completely still when you press the shutter button.
• Make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another person or
object in the vicinity while taking pictures.
Detection of the orientation of the camera (Direction Detection Function)
∫
This function detects the vertical orientation when you record
with the camera held vertically.
When you play back the recording, it is automatically
displayed in vertical orientation.
(Only available when [Rotate Disp.] is set to [ON].)
• When the camera is held vertically and tilted significantly up or down to record, the Direction
Detection Function may not work correctly.
• Videos, 4K picture series files, and images recorded with the Post Focus function cannot be
displayed vertically.
