The Basics of Shooting and Playback
1 Hold the camera steady.
• Keep fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-assist illuminator,
microphone, and speaker.
• When taking pictures in portrait (“tall“) orientation, turn the camera so that
the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
C Viewfinder
By pressing the x button, you can shoot while looking through the viewfinder
(A10).
C When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash lowered, or in a shooting mode in
which the flash is disabled
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A99) to prevent potential errors caused by
this function.
