• To avoid camera shake, hold it with both
hands keeping your arms close to your
body while standing with your feet slightly
apart.
• Do not touch the lens.
• Do not hold the lens barrel as you take
pictures. There is a risk that your finger will
be trapped as the lens retracts.
• Do not block the flash or the lamp. Do not
look at it from close range.
• Make sure that the camera does not
move at the moment the shutter button is
pressed.

We recommend attaching the shoulder strap (supplied) when using the
