Ready the Camera

When framing photographs in the viewfinder, hold the handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body or lens with your left. Keep your elbows propped lightly against your torso for support and place one foot half a pace ahead of the other to keep your upper body stable. When framing photographs in portrait (tall) orientation, hold the camera as shown in the bottom of the three illustrations at right.

DFraming Photos in Portrait (Tall) Orientation

The camera is equipped with controls for use in portrait (tall) orientation, including a vertical shutter-release, Fn, and Bbuttons, main and sub- command dials, and multi selector (0 104, 338). Rotate the vertical shooting shutter-release button lock to L to avoid accidentally operating these controls when the camera is in landscape (wide) orientation.
