Step 3—Frame a Photograph

To prevent blurred photographs caused by unsteady hands (camera shake), hold the camera steadily in both hands, with your elbows propped lightly against your torso for support. Hold the handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body or lens with your left.

The shutter-release button for vertical shooting ( 4) can be used when taking photographs in portrait (tall) orientation.

The recommended stance for taking photographs is with one foot a half pace in front of the other and your upper body stable.

Viewfinder Focus

The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to
accommodate individual differences in vision. To adjust	1
viewfinder focus, pull the diopter adjustment knob out
	2
(￿) and rotate it until the viewfinder display and focus
brackets are in sharp focus (￿). When operating the
diopter adjustment knob with your eye to the view-
finder, be careful not to put your fingers or fingernails
in your eye.

Diopter can be adjusted in the range –3 m–1to +1 m–1. Corrective lenses (available separately; 232) allow diopters of –6 m–1to +3 m–1.

Attaching Diopter Adjustment Viewfinder Lenses Before attaching a diopter-adjustment viewfinder lens, remove the viewfinder eyepiece by closing the view- finder shutter to release the eyepiece lock (￿) and then unscrewing the eyepiece as shown at right (￿).
