Hold Camera and Focus

Lightly pressing the shutter release button automatically focuses the camera on the subject and when the subject is in focus, causes / to appear in the viewfinder.

Hold the camera properly.

•Keep your elbow propped against your body for support.

•Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body still.

•Grasp the camera handgrip with your right hand and use your left hand to cradle the camera (or lens).

•The optional Multi-Power High Speed Battery Pack MB-15 (page 88) makes available a shutter release button for vertical frame shooting.

Camera shake and shutter speed

Preventing camera shake is crucial when taking photographs. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than ‘1/focal length of your lens’ sec. (Example: when using a 50mm lens, set the shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec.) Use of a tripod is recommended for shooting at slower shutter speeds.

NOTE: Composing frame

This camera’s viewfinder frame shows approximately 96% of the image actually exposed on the film frame. Note that the edges of a negative film are partially cropped by most labs.
