To reduce blurring caused by camera shake, hold the cam-
era firmly in both hands. Photographs can be framed in the
LCD monitor (A) or the viewfinder (B).

Keep your fingers and other objects away from the lens and flash window
when taking photographs.
When framing photographs in the viewfinder at ranges of 90 cm
(1 yd) or less, use the smaller of the two frames in the viewfinder
display (the area shaded in purple in the illustration at right).
Frame photographs in the monitor when:
• you are using macro close-up
• you are using digital zoom
• you are using a lens converter
• image size is set to 3 : 2
• you want direct confirmation of camera settings or the
view through the lens
Frame photographs in the viewfinder when:
• you want to save power by turning the monitor off
• bright ambient lighting conditions make it difficult to see
the display in the monitor
