SHOOTING
BEFORE TAKING PICTURES (for best results)
Recording the date and time
When the correct date and time are set in your camera, the date and time are
recorded with the image each time you snap a picture (see page 84).
To facilitate organizing your photographed data, it is recommended that you
complete your camera’s date and time settings before shooting pictures.
A clock alert icon
appearing on the LCD monitor indicates that the date
and time settings have not been completed.
Holding the camera
Hold the camera securely with both hands, keeping your elbows close to your
body and making sure the camera is stable.
Make sure that the lens or flash is not blocked by your fingers or the
handstrap.
