The zoom setting is retained even when the camera is
switched off.
The switched EVF/LCD setting is retained even if
you change the mode or switch the camera off.
Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the
camera with both hands. Position the thumb of your
right hand so that it is handy for using the zoom.
●
!
The image will be blurred if the camera moves when taking
the picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera
shake, particularly for shots in dark locations when the flash
is set to Suppressed Flash mode.
●
!
There may be some unevenness in the brightness at the
lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. This does not affect the photographed image.
Take care to hold the camera so that your fingers
or the strap do not cover the lens, flash AF-Assist
Illuminator or flash control sensor. If the lens, flash
or flash control sensor is obscured by your fingers
or the camera strap, you may not be able to obtain
the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.
●
!
Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as
described on P.97.
