HOW TO HOLD CAMERA The temperatures at which this camera should function properly are approx. 50° - -10°C. Sudden changes in temperature will often cause moisture to condense inside or outside your camera. This is a possible source of rust, which may be extremely harmful to the mechanism. Furthermore, if the camera is taken from a warm temperature to a sub-freezing one, further damage may result from the formation of icelets. Thus, sudden temperature changes should be avoided as much as possible. As a guide, a temperature change of 10°C should be allowed to take place gradually over a period of at least 30 minutes. If this is not possible, keeping the camera in its case or bag will help somewhat in minimizing the effects of a rapid temperature change. 5. Vibration experienced when you are traveling in a car, plane, or ship, can cause screws to loosen. To minimize this problem use foamrubber padding about one inch thick to line the bottom of your camera bag. 6. Do not place the camera with the zoom lens down without turning the main switch off; otherwise, the zooming mechanism may be seriously damaged. Hold the camera firmly. Take a relaxed stance, with your feet spread. Brace your elbows against your body. Support yourself by propping yourself or the camera against a wall, tree, table, etc. When using flash with the camera held vertically, keep the flash on the upper side. Do not hold the zoom lens. Do not place your fingers or hair on the autofocus window, flash, sensor window, etc. Always press the shutter button gently, holding your breath. Camera movement is responsible for unsharp pictures.

HOW
TO
HOLD
CAMERA
The
temperatures
at
which
this
camera
should
function
properly
are
approx.
50
°
-
-10
°
C.
Sudden
changes
in
temperature
will
often
cause
moisture
to
condense
inside
or
outside
your
camera.
This
is
a
possible
source
of
rust,
which
may
be
extremely
harmful
to
the
mechanism.
Furthermore,
if
the
camera
is
taken
from
a
warm
temperature
to
a
sub
-freezing
one,
further
damage
may
result
from
the
formation
of
icelets.
Thus,
sudden
temperature
changes
should
be
avoided
as
much
as
possible.
As
a
guide,
a
temperature
change
of
10
°
C
should
be
allowed
to
take
place
gradually
over
a
period
of
at
least
30
minutes.
If
this
is
not
possible,
keeping
the
camera
in
its
case
or
bag
will
help
somewhat
in
minimizing
the
effects
of
a
rapid
temperature
change.
5.
Vibration
experienced
when
you
are
traveling
in
a
car,
plane,
or
ship,
can
cause
screws
to
loosen.
To
minimize
this
problem
use
foam
-
rubber
padding
about
one
inch
thick
to
line
the
bottom
of
your
camera
bag.
6.
Do
not
place
the
camera
with
the
zoom
lens
