Tips for taking good pictures
Hold the camera gently with both hands, keep your arms still at your side
and stand with your feet slightly apart.
•Do not cover the flash, the AF Assist lamp A, the microphone B (P16) or the speaker
with your fingers or other objects.
•Be careful not to move the camera when you press the shutter button.
•When taking pictures, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with
another person, an object etc.
•Do not hold the lens barrel as you take pictures. There
is a risk that your finger will be trapped as the lens
retracts.
