Basic Photography
Step 2 – Frame the picture
Adjust the lens angle.
•From a position parallel to the camera
body, the lens section can be rotated
120° forward or 90° back toward the
monitor.
Ready the camera.
•Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
To avoid dark or partially obscured pic-
tures, keep your fingers and other ob-
jects away from the lens and flash
window.
Rotating the Lens Section
Care should be taken to avoid catching fingers, hair, or clothing in the lens sec-
tion when rotating it. When adjusting the angle of the lens, rotate the lens sec-
tion slowly; do not use excessive force.
Taking Pictures of Yourself
To frame a quick arms-length self-portrait, rotate
the lens to point in the same direction as the mon-
itor. In this position, the monitor will show a mirror
image of what will appear in the final photograph.
The shooting screen in the monitor will be smaller
than that of the normal shooting but the pictures
taken are not affected.
