shutter button, be sure to hold the

 

 

camera as shown in the

 

 

illustration below, and keep it still

 

 

by pressing your arms firmly

 

 

against your sides as you shoot.

 

 

Holding the camera still, carefully

 

 

press the shutter button and take

care to avoid all movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.

NOTE

Take care that your fingers and the strap do not cover any of the areas indicated in the illustration.

To protect against accidentally dropping the camera, attach the wrist strap and make sure it is around your fingers or wrist while you are operating the camera.

Never swing the camera around by its strap.

The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.
