2 Before Using Your Camera

To ensure that you use your camera correctly, read the Safety Notes in section 8 and the rest of this user’s manual carefully.

Holding the camera correctly

Due to the extremely compact size and light weight of the camera, it is critical that you hold the camera securely in order to avoid “camera shake”. The camera is particularly sensitive to “shake” in low light environments. Taking a picture in low light requires a longer exposure time for the image to be captured and any movement during this time might cause a blurred image.

When taking a photo in low light the flash may trigger. Before this happens, try to avoid gripping the camera with your fingers placed on the front face of the camera. Instead, hold the camera on its edges so that the light of the flash does not reflect off your finger(s) and cause lens flare.

Test photos

Before you capture your first images, we recommend you take some test photos to make sure that the camera is working properly. This will also help you become comfortable holding the camera in order to capture satisfactory images.
