Tips for Taking Pictures

Holding the camera

Hold the camera firmly with both hand and brace your elbows lightly against your body.

Keep your fingers, hair and the camera strap away from the camera lens and flash.

Use the viewfinder or LCD monitor to frame your shot.

Be sure to rest the camera against your forehead while using the optical viewfinder to focus your shot.

Press and releasing Shutter Button

Press the shutter button slowly and gently, until you feel a “click.”

Keep your camera still while pressing the shutter button.

Continue holding camera steady until you hear the click sound of the camera taking a picture. This can take up to 2 seconds depending on lighting conditions.
