Step 2 Frame a Picture
1 Ready the camera.
• Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping
your fingers and other objects away from the lens,
flash, and self-timer lamp.
• When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the
camera counterclockwise so that the built-in flash
is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
Position the main subject near the center of the mon-
itor.
Using the Zoom
Use the zoom buttons to activate optical zoom.
Press t (j) to zoom out, increasing the area visi-
ble in the frame, or v (k) to zoom in so that the
subject fills a larger area of the frame.
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum magnification (3×), holding
down v (k) triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4×, for a
total magnification of 12×.
A monitor indicator shows the current zoom ratio.
