Holding The Camera Correctly - Casio Exilim EX-ZR1200 User Manual

Holding the Camera Correctly

Your images will not come out
clearly if you move the camera
when you press the shutter
button. When pressing the
shutter button, be sure to hold
the camera as shown in the
illustration, and keep it still by
pressing your arms firmly
against your sides as you shoot.
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 keep the camera from falling, be sure to keep
the strap around your neck, wrapped around your
wrist, or hanging from your shoulder.
• 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.
• When the "Auto Rotate" setting is turned on, the
camera will detect whether it is being held
vertically or horizontally when a snapshot image is
shot. When you display an image shot with the
camera held vertically, the image is rotated automatically 90 degrees when
displayed on the monitor screen (page 177).
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.
