Getting Started

This chapter explains a few preliminary steps and basic camera operations.

Attaching the Strap

Pass the end of the strap through the camera’s strap mount from the bottom. Then pass it through the strap’s buckle as shown in the illustration. Pull the strap to take up any slack and make sure the strap will not loosen from the buckle.

The eyepiece cover is also attached to the strap. (p.98)
