Hold the camera with both hands and
lightly press both elbows against your
body.
Put your finger on the shutter button.
• Be careful when you are shooting not to get a finger, your hair, or the strap in front of the lens or the flash.
• To prevent camera shake, hold the camera securely with both hands when you shoot or use a tripod.
Consider using a tripod to prevent camera shake in the following situations:
• When shooting in a dark place, if you do not use the flash or if you use the Slow Synchro mode.
• When you shoot with the zoom.
How to Hold the Camera
If the camera moves when you press the shutter button, the still image might not come out clearly (due
to camera shake). The mark displayed on the LCD monitor indicates that camera shake should
be avoided under the current shooting condition. Hold the camera as illustrated below for best results.
