HOLDING THE CAMERA Camera held horizontally Camera held vertically (ONIIOOHS) NOIJMH3dO 3ISV9 For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly as shown in the illustrations. Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While taking a picture, hold your breath and gently depress the shutter release button. (Sudden force on the shutter release button will cause camera shake, making the picture blurred.) • To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance. • Although there are individual differences among photographers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example, 1/75 of second when the focal length is 75mm, and 1/150 of second when it is 150mm. A tripod should be used for shutter speeds slower than this. • When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens is recommended to avoid camera shake. • This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical and horizontal format positions. • When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW F or Cable Release is also recommended.
