Holding the Camera
Images become blurred if the camera moves when the shutter button is
pressed. Hold the camera as shown below to avoid camera movement
when shooting.
• Make sure that your hair or fingers do not obstruct the lens, flash, self-
timer lamp, microphone or speaker.
• Fix the camera onto a tripod when shooting infinity shots or in dark
places.
Hold the camera firmly with both hands
and let your elbows rest at your sides.
Place your finger on the shutter button
as you hold the camera.
