Step 4—Frame a Photograph

Choose a focus mode and frame a photograph.

4.1 Choose autofocus

Confirm that the focus-mode selector is pointing to AF (autofocus). At this setting, the camera will focus automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed half- way. Pictures can only be taken when the camera is in focus.

4.2 Frame a photograph

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

Tutorial—Basic Photography

Viewfinder Frame Coverage

The viewfinder shows slightly less of the image (approximately 95% both vertically and horizontally) than appears in the final photograph.

Viewfinder Focus

The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to accommodate individual differences in vision. To adjust viewfinder focus, slide the diopter adjustment control up and down until the viewfinder display and focus brackets are in sharp focus. If necessary, the rubber eyepiece cup can be removed; when the cup is replaced, the lettered face should be down.

When operating the diopter adjustment control with your eye to the viewfinder, be careful not to put your fingers or fingernails in your eye.

Diopter can be adjusted in the range –1.6 m–1to +0.5 m–1. Corrective lenses (available separately; 190) allow diopters of –5 m–1to +3 m–1.
