Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the
camera with both hands. Position the thumb of your
right hand so that it is handy for using the zoom.

!
The image will be blurred if the camera moves when taking
the picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera
shake, particularly for shots in dark locations when the flash
is set to Suppressed flash mode.
●
!
There may be some uneven brightness at the lower edge of
the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the
image.
Take care to hold the camera so that your fingers
or the strap do not cover the lens, flash or flash
control sensor. If the lens, flash or flash control
sensor is blocked by your fingers or the camera
strap, you may not get the correct brightness
(exposure) for your shot.
