Quick Start Basics
Your images will not come out clearly if you
move the camera when you press the
shutter button. When pressing the shutter
button, be sure to hold the camera as shown
in the illustration near by, and keep it still by
pressing your arms firmly against your sides
as you shoot.
Holding the camera still, carefully press the
shutter button and take care to avoid all
movement as the shutter releases and for a
few moments after it releases. This is especially important when available lighting is
low, which slows down the shutter speed.
IMPORTANT!
• Never touch the lens-barrel unit, except for cleaning. Never hold the camera by the
lens when aiming it or transporting it.
NOTE
• Take care that your fingers and the strap
do not cover any of the areas indicated in
the illustration.
• To protect against accidentally dropping
the camera, attach the strap and make sure
it is around your neck while you are
operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around by its
strap.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with
this camera only. Never use it for any other
purpose.
• When the “Auto Rotate” setting is turned
on, the camera will detect whether it is
being held vertically or horizontally when a snapshot image is shot. When you
display an image shot with the camera held vertically, the image is rotated
automatically 90 degrees when displayed on the monitor screen (page 148).
