Tips for taking good pictures

Do not cover the flash, the AF Assist Lamp A or the microphone B with your fingers

or other objects.

Hold the camera gently with both hands, keep your arms still at your side and stand with your feet slightly apart.

Be careful not to move the camera when you press the shutter button.

Do not touch the front of the lens. (P167)

When taking pictures, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another person, an object etc.
