Lens Adjustment
To obtain the most stable position for shooting
while viewing the LCD monitor, hold the lens so
that it forms an angle of 45 degrees in relation to
the camera body.
The lens tilts up to 100 degrees forward and 90°
backward. You can photograph yourself, while
viewing your own image on the LCD monitor (Self-
Recording), by tilting the lens 90 degrees backward
and taking your picture. This can be used for things
such as keeping a photo diary.
BASIC OPERATION
Shutter Release Button
The Shutter Release Button of the camera has two
steps. At the first step, when the button is pressed
halfway, “
” is displayed and the camera
automatically focuses on the subject. “
”
disappears once the subject has been brought into
focus.
The operation of pressing the Shutter Release Button
to the first step is called a “half-press”. From the
“half-pressed” position, press the button all the way
to the second step.

NOTES:
●
Do not press the Shutter Release Button with your
finger raised over the button or do not press it
with too strong a force, as this may disrupt the
horizontal positioning of the image or cause
blurring. When shooting, always half-press the
button before pressing it fully to the second step.
●
If focusing is performed by pressing the Shutter
Release Button frequently during auto focus, the
period between when the Shutter Release Button
is pressed and when the shutter is released will be
shortened.
●
While the camera is performing auto focusing
with the button half-pressed, the displayed image
may freeze temporarily. This is not a malfunction.
●
When the Shutter Release Button is released from
the half-pressed position and half-pressed again,
the camera performs auto focusing again.
