• Use your left hand to cradle the camera with your elbow propped
against your body for support.
• Grasp the camera hand grip with your right hand.
• Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body
still.

button.
If the subject is in focus, the focus indicator
appears in the

use Focus Lock
(see

page 8-8
for situations where autofocus may produce
unexpected results.
