4.2 Ready the camera

Pictures can be framed in the monitor (A) or viewfinder (B). To prevent your pictures from being blurred by inadvertent camera movement (cam- era shake), hold the camera steadily in both hands. In auto mode, the built-in Speedlight pops up automatically when lighting is poor. Do not place your fingers on top of the built-in Speedlight.

Tutorial— Taking Pictures

The Built-in Speedlight

If the flash mode is set to auto (the default setting), red-eye reduction, or slow sync and additional light is required for correct exposure, the built-in Speed- light will pop up automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. At a setting of Anytime Flash (fill flash), the built-in Speedlight will pop up whenever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Do not at- tempt to raise the Speedlight by hand.

If your finger or another object obstructs the Speedlight, preventing it from popping up when a picture is taken, a message will appear in the monitor, and the flash-ready lamp will flicker.

Swivel Limit

To prevent the lens section from rotating more than 90 ° forward, slide the swivel limit switch as shown at right. This prevents unintended rotation when a converter lens (available separately) is attached.
