Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the
camera with both hands. Position your right thumb
so that it is handy for using the zoom.
!
Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture
(camera shake). Use a tripod to prevent camera shake,
particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash
mode is Suppressed flash.
!
There may be some uneven brightness at the lower edge of
the screen. This is normal and does not affect the image.
!
The zoom setting is retained even when the camera is turned
off.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as
informed on P.107.
Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do
not cover the lens, flash, AF-assist illuminator or
flash control sensor. If the lens, flash, AF-assist
illuminator or flash control sensor is obscured, the
brightness (exposure) of your shot may be
incorrect.

When the flash pops up, the image may disappear and go
dark briefly due to flash charging. The indicator lamp blinks
orange during charging.
!
If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,
white dots may appear in the image. This is due to the flash
reflecting off the dust particles or snowflakes. Use
Suppressed flash mode to fix the problem.
