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 below, 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.
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
wrist strap and make sure it is
around your fingers or wrist 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.
