Holding the camera correctly
CAUTION
• Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred
picture (camera shake). Hold the camera steadily with
both hands.
• If the lens or flash is obscured by your fingers or the
strap, subjects may be out of focus or the brightness
(exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.
• Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty (getting
fingerprints on the lens etc.), clean the lens as informed
on p.118.
