BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image.

Recording an Image

Aiming the Camera

Use both hands to hold the camera still when shooting an image. Holding the camera with one hand increases the chance of movement, which can blur your images.

• Horizontal

Hold the camera

 

still in both

 

hands, with your

 

arms firmly

 

against your

 

sides.

• Vertical

When holding

 

the camera

 

vertically, make

 

sure that the

 

flash is above

 

the lens. Hold

 

the camera still

 

with both hands.

IMPORTANT!

•Make sure your fingers and the strap do not block the flash, microphone, AF assist light/self-timer lamp or lens.

NOTE

•Moving the camera as you press the shutter button or while the Auto Focus operation is being performed (when you press the shutter button half way) can cause blurring of the image. Press the shutter button carefully, taking care to avoid camera movement. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.
