10 Holding the Camera and Focusing

■Hold the shutter button halfway to focus the camera. When your subject is in focus, the focus indicator “●” appears in the viewfinder.

1 Hold the camera correctly.

•Hold your body straight and brace your elbows lightly against your sides.

•Put one foot forward slightly to keep your upper body steady.

•Hold the camera so that your right hand is firmly around the grip and use your left hand to support the lens.

✎Important

Camera shake and shutter speed

Camera shake is something to be avoided when taking pictures. As a general guide when taking pictures, the shutter speed should be faster than [1/focal length of the lens mounted] seconds. For example, with a 50 mm lens, you should use a shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec. Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.

Notes on Composing Your Shot

As a percentage of the actual image photographed, the image area visible through the viewfinder of the FinePix S1 Pro (the viewfinder coverage) is about 90% vertically and about 93% horizontally. In other words, the picture actually taken is slightly larger than the field of view in the viewfinder.
