To prevent dropping, be sure to attach the 
supplied strap and fit it to your wrist. 
Hold the camera gently with both hands, keep 
your arms still at your side and stand with your 
feet slightly apart.
Be careful not to move the camera when you 
press the shutter button.
Be careful not to put your fingers on the flash, 
AF assist lamp, microphone, speaker or lens 
etc.

∫ Direction Detection Function ([Rotate Disp.])
Pictures recorded with the camera held vertically are played back vertically (rotated). (Only 
when [Rotate Disp.]

When the camera is held vertically and tilted up and down to record pictures, the Direction 
Detection function may not work correctly.
Motion pictures taken with the camera held vertically are not displayed vertically.

moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend 
using a tripod.
