Holding the Camera Correctly
• Your images will not come out
clearly if you move the camera
when you press the shutter
button. Hold the camera and
position it correctly as shown
in the illustration, with your
arms firmly against your sides.
• Holding the camera still,
carefully press the shutter
button and take care to avoid
all movement as the shutter
releases and for a few
moments after it releases.
This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the
shutter speed.
NOTE
• Take care that your fingers and the strap do not
cover any of the areas indicated in the illustration.
• To protect against accidentally dropping the
camera, attach the wrist strap and make sure it is
around your fingers or wrist while you are
operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around by its strap.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with this
camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.
• Shooting an image while the camera's "Auto
Rotate" setting is "On" will cause the playback
image to be rotated automatically to the orientation
the camera was in when the image was recorded (page 175).
IMPORTANT!
• Take care to ensure that your fingers are not blocking or are not too close to the
flash. Fingers can cause unwanted shadows when using the flash.
