3. HOW TO HOLD THE CAMERA When shooting, hold the camera securely with both hands. Keep the camera as still as possible, and gently depress the shutter release button. (If too much force is applied, the camera is likely to shake, and the picture will be blurred.) Try to brace your elbows against your body, or support yourself and the camera against a stable, stationary object, such as a wall. When using the flash with the camera positioned vertically, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens. f Caution: Do not hold the zoom lens because it moves back and forth when zooming. Note: • Make sure not to obstruct the autofocus window, lens, light sensor window or the built-in flash with your fingers or hair. 5
