Holding the Camera

Images become blurred if the camera moves when the shutter button is pressed. Hold the camera as shown below to avoid camera movement when shooting.

Hold the camera firmly with both hands and let your elbows rest at your sides. Place your finger on the shutter button as you hold the camera.

•Make sure that your hair or fingers do not obstruct the lens, flash, self- timer lamp, microphone or speaker.

•Fix the camera onto a tripod when shooting infinity shots or in dark places.
