Tips for taking good pictures with Live View

A

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

•Make sure the camera does not shake when you press the shutter button.

•Do not cover the AF assist lamp, IR sensor etc. with your fingers or other objects.

•If the LCD monitor screen is difficult to see because of light from the sun etc. shining on it, we recommend using your hand or another object to block the light when using the camera.

•When holding the camera vertically, hold it with the AF assist lamp A at the top of the camera.
