Holding the Camera Correctly
Hold the camera so that your right hand is wrapped around the camera and your right thumb is
on the grip. In this position, your index finger should naturally rest near the shutter button when
extended.
To reduce the risk of camera shake, make an L-shape with your left index finger and thumb and
use this to support the camera.
Using the Shutter Button
You can minimize the risk of camera shake by gently pressing the shutter button down on an angle.
The shutter button uses two-step mechanism in which the focus is set while the button is held
down halfway (AF lock). Pressing the shutter button down the rest of the way (without releasing
it first) takes the picture.
