Take care to hold the camera so that your
fingers or the strap do not cover the lens, flash
or flash control sensor. If the lens, flash or flash
control sensor is obscured by your fingers or the
camera strap, you may not be able to obtain the
correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when
it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image
due to the flash reflecting off the dust particles or
snowflakes. Try taking the shot with the flash mode
set to Suppressed Flash.

shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto

To frame your shot precisely, you should take the picture
using the LCD monitor.

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject
clearly on the LCD monitor. (Such as in sunny weather
outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes.) In
such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.
Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the
camera with both hands. Position the thumb of your
right hand so that it is handy for using the zoom.
Set the Mode switch to “
U”.
When you are taking shots using the viewfinder,
you can make the battery last longer by pressing
the “DISP” button to switch the LCD monitor off.
(Note that you cannot switch the LCD monitor off
in Macro mode.)
