2
Ready the camera.
Keep your elbows propped lightly
against your torso for support and place
one foot half a pace ahead of the other
to keep your upper body stable. Be
careful that your fingers or hair, the
camera strap, or other objects do not
obstruct the lens, flash, AF-assist
illuminator, or microphone. When using
the flash to take pictures in “tall”
(portrait) orientation, hold the camera
so that the flash is above the lens. If
lighting is poor, use the built-in flash
(
112) or mount the camera on a tripod to prevent blur.
