∫ Tips for taking good pictures
• Hold the camera gently with both hands, 

keep your arms still at your side and stand 
with your feet slightly apart.

• Make sure the camera does not shake 

when you press the shutter button.

• Do not cover the flash or the AF assist 

lamp with your fingers or other objects.

• Do not touch the front of the lens.
• If the LCD monitor screen is difficult to see 

because of light from the sun etc. shining 
on it, we recommend using your hand or 
another object to block the light when 
using the camera.
