HOLDING THE CAMERA

In order to avoid camera shake, hold the camera
steady, especially when using longer focal lengths
(Tele).

Place the camera strap over your wrist.
Both elbows (horizontal picture) or one elbow (vertical
picture) should be held close to your body. 
Keep your eye close to the viewfinder when using the
camera. This ensures correct framing. Ensure you
can see all four sides of the viewing frame when
composing your shot.

NOTE

Avoid obstructing the lens when you take a picture. Pictures can be spoiled when a finger, hair or
camera strap falls in front of the Lens, Exposure Sensor or Auto-focus Windows.
When you take vertical pictures with flash, the flash should be above the lens.
