Basic Shooting Operation Holding the Camera 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. [Horizontal position] [Vertical position] INFORMATION 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. ŝ50Ş
