Holding the Camera

To avoid taking blurred pictures, hold the camera steady to minimize camera shake.

Horizontal shooting

Vertical shooting

•Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your both elbows lightly against your body.

•Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand.

•Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder.

•To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet.

The camera automatically senses whether it is in the horizontal or vertical position. The camera orientation sensor will make a small sound when you switch to vertical or horizontal shooting.
