Step 4—Frame the Picture

.1 Adjust the lens angle
The lens section can be rotated
130° forward from its housing
in the camera body, and 90°
back toward the monitor. To
frame a quick arms-length self-
portrait, rotate the lens to point
in the same direction as the
monitor (in this position, the
monitor will show a mirror
image of what will appear in the
final photograph).
Step 3—Adjust Camera Settings (Optional)
The following table shows the default settings for mode. For more infor-
mation, refer to the page numbers in the rightmost column.

When the lens is obscured by the camera body, a warning will be dis-
played in the monitor and pictures can not be taken. To clear the mes-
sage from the monitor, rotate the lens section to shooting position.
