HOW TO HOLD CAMERA
The temperatures at which this camera should
function properly are approx. 50° ~ -10 C.
Sudden changes in temperature will often cause
moisture to condense inside or outside your
camera. This is a possible source of rust, which
may be extremely harmful to the mechanism.
Furthermore, if the camera is taken from a warm
temperature to a sub-freezing one, further
damage may result from the formation of icelets.
Thus, sudden temperature changes should be
avoided as much as possible. As a guide, a
temperature change of 10°C should be allowed
to take place gradually over a period of at least
30 minutes. If this is not possible, keeping the
camera in its case or bag will help somewhat in
minimizing the effects of a rapid temperature
change.
5. Vibration experienced when you are traveling
in a car, plane, or ship, can cause screws to
loosen. To minimize this problem use foam-
rubber padding about one inch thick to line
the bottom of your camera bag.
6.
Do not place the camera with the zoom lens
down without turning the main switch off; other
wise, the zooming mechanism may be seriously
damaged.
Hold the camera firmly. Take a relaxed stance,
with your feet spread. Brace your elbows against
your body. Support yourself by propping yourself
or the camera against a wall, tree, table, etc. When
using flash with the camera held vertically, keep
the flash on the upper side. Do not hold the zoom
lens. Do not place your fingers or hair on the
autofocus window, flash, sensor window, etc.
Always press the shutter button gently, holding
your breath. Camera movement is responsible for
unsharp pictures.
