2 Ready the camera.

z

Remove the lens cap and hold the camera securely with both hands, being careful not to obstruct the lens, AF-assist illuminator, or microphone. Rotate the camera as shown at lower right when taking pictures in “tall” (portrait) orientation.

Shutter speeds slow when lighting is poor; use of an optional flash unit (0 59) or a tripod is recommended.

AUsing a Zoom Lens

Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject so that it fills a larger area of the frame, or zoom out to increase the area visible in the final photograph (select longer focal lengths on the lens focal length scale to zoom in, shorter focal lengths to zoom out; if you are using a lens with a retractable lens barrel button, unlock and extend the lens by pressing the button and rotating the zoom ring as described on page 17).

Zoom ring

If you are using an optional lens with a power drive zoom switch, select T to zoom in and W to zoom out. The speed with which the camera zooms in and out varies with how far you slide the switch. The zoom position is shown by the zoom guide in the display.
