Holding the camera
● Hold the camera securely in both hands with
the elbows pressed against the body for
stable positioning.
● When using the flash with the camera held
sideways, hold the camera so the shutter
button is at the top.
* Take caution not to cover the flash or lens with
fingers or strap.
Viewfinder and LED
For normal recording, aim at the subject using
the entire viewfinder area. To focus, position the
subject within the diagonally-lined center area of
[ ] located at the center of the viewfinder.
For macro recording (0.25m to 0.8m), or if the
zoom position is set to TELE and the distance
between the camera and subject is near, record
with the LCD monitor set to ON since the
viewfinder and the recording range will vary. For
macro recording, see page 32.
Definitions of viewfinder LED display statuses on the right of the viewfinder are shown below.
Use them as references during operation of the camera.
