microphone, and speaker.

By pressing the x button, you can shoot while looking through the viewfinder

C When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash lowered, or in a shooting mode in
which the flash is disabled
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration

this function.
