Basic Shooting Operation
ƈ How you hold the camera is important when taking pictures.
- Hold the camera firmly with both hands.
- Press the shutter release button gently when taking a picture.

ƃ To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object such as a table, tree,
or wall.
ƃ Although there are individual differences among photographers, the slowest recommended
shutter speed for a handheld camera is generally 1/(focal lengthx1.5).
For example, it is 1/75 of a second for a focal length of 50 mm and 1/150 of a second for 100 mm.
A tripod or OPS function should be used for shutter speeds slower than this.
ƃ When using a telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens
is recommended to avoid camera shake.
ƃ When using the tripod, do not use the OPS function as the image may be blurred due to the
oscillation of the OPS sensor.
