BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
For best results
Hold the camera securely, keeping your elbows close to your body and
making sure the camera is stable.
Make sure that the lens and flash are not blocked by your fingers or the strap.

orientation to the vertical (portrait) format still image mode (page 52).

they are played back (page 86).

When the still image shooting button is pressed halfway, the image in the
LCD monitor may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image
processing and is not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will
not affect your images in any way.

When the optical zoom is used or when the autofocus is operating, the
image may appear to waver, but this is not a malfunction.
