Composing, Focusing, and Capturing Images

1.Hold the camera properly.

•Use your left hand to cradle the camera with your elbow propped against your body for support.

•Grasp the camera hand grip with your right hand.

•Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body still.

2.Center your subject in the Viewfinder and lightly press the Shutter button.

If the subject is in focus, the focus indicator appears in the viewfinder.

If the camera cannot focus using autofocus, the focus indicator blinks. Use Manual focus.

•See page 8-2for situations where autofocus may produce unexpected results.

3.Slowly press the Shutter button.

NOTE: You can capture images in a vertical orientation (see page 5-18) using Advanced mode (see page 4-2).
