HANDLING THE CAMERA

While using the electronic viewfinder (EVF) or LCD monitor, grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily.

The electronic viewfinder can be tilted between 0° to 90°. Simply grip the finder between your fingers and move it to the position desired. Always store the camera with finder down against the body.

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

The EVF has a built-in diopter that can be adjusted between –5.0 to +0.5. While looking through the EVF, turn the diopter- adjustment dial until the viewfinder image is sharp.

CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera- shake warning will appear on the monitors; the shutter can still be released. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto setting of the lens than at the wide-angle. The warning appears at approximately the reciprocal of the focal length used; if the lens is set at 100mm, the camera shake warning will appear at 1/100 second. If the warning appears, the following steps can be taken:

•Place the camera on a tripod.

•Use the built-in flash.

•Increase the camera sensitivity (ISO) (p. 70).

•Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position.
