<Holding the Camera>
/Before taking important, once-in-a-life-
time pictures such as weddings or spe-
cial events, take a few test shots to
make sure your camera is working cor-
rectly. If you bought your camera
before going on a trip, shoot a roll or
two to get familiar with how the camera
works. Bring an extra set of batteries
and keep this book with you for handy
reference.
1Make sure that nothing is blocking the
lens, the flash, the AF (Auto-focus) win-
dows or the AE (Automatic exposure)
light sensor. Place your finger as
shown in the picture.
