2 Ready the camera.

• Hold the camera steadily in both hands.

To avoid dark or partially obscured pic- tures, keep your fingers and other ob-

jects away from the lens and flash

window.

Rotating the Lens Section

Care should be taken to avoid catching fingers, hair, or clothing in the lens sec- tion when rotating it. When adjusting the angle of the lens, rotate the lens sec- tion slowly; do not use excessive force.

Taking Pictures of Yourself

• To frame a quick arms-length self-portrait, rotate the lens to point in the same direction as the mon- itor. In this position, the monitor will show a mirror image of what will appear in the final photograph.

•The shooting screen in the monitor will be smaller than that of the normal shooting but the pictures

taken are not affected.
