Tips for taking good pictures

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

• Do not cover the flash or the AF assist lamp A with your fingers or other objects.

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

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

•Using the Optional Live Viewfinder, you can adjust the viewfinder angle when recording with a low camera angle. This feature is convenient for recording low-lying subjects such as flowers, etc. (P196)

This function detects the vertical orientation when you record with the camera vertically orientated. When you play back the recording, the recording is automatically displayed in vertical orientation. (Only available when [ROTATE DISP.] (P172) is set to [ON].)
