Step 3—Frame a Photograph
To prevent blurred photographs caused by unsteady hands (camera shake),
hold the camera steadily in both hands, with your elbows propped lightly
against your torso for support. Hold the handgrip in your right hand and
cradle the camera body or lens with your left.
The recommended stance for taking photographs is with one foot a half pace
in front of the other and your upper body stable.
Using the Diopter Control
When operating the diopter control with your eye to the viewfinder, care should be
taken to avoid accidentally putting your fingers or fingernails in your eye.
Viewfinder Focus
The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to
accommodate individual differences in vision. To adjust
viewfinder focus, slide the diopter adjustment control
up and down until the focus brackets in the viewfinder
are in sharp focus. If necessary, you can remove the
rubber viewfinder eyepiece cup when adjusting diopter;
when replacing the cup, the lettered face should be
down.
Diopter can be adjusted in the range –2 m
–1
to +1 m
–1
. Corrective lenses (available
separately;
180) allow diopters of –5 m
–1
to +3 m
–1
. The rubber viewfinder eyepiece
cup must be removed when using diopter adjustment lenses.
The optional MB-D100
multi function battery
pack is equipped with a
shutter-release button for
taking photographs in
portrait (tall) orientation.
