HOLDING THE CAMERA
1. Keep the camera as still as possible and steady it against your face. Depress the shutter release button gently. (If too much force is applied, the camera is likely to shake, and the picture will be blurred.) Try to brace your elbows against a stable, stationary object such as a wall. (Fig. 5)
2. When using the flash with the camera positioned vertically, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens.
3. Make sure not to obstruct the autofocus window, lens, light sensor window or the built-in flash with your fingers, hair or other object.
Note:
• Do not hold the zoom lens because it moves back and forth while in operation.
OPERATING 38-115mm ZOOM LENS
When you move the zoom lever to the right ( ), the lens moves towards the 115mm telephoto setting and frames the subject more closely. When you move the zoom lever to the left ( ), the lens moves towards the
38mm wide-angle setting. (Fig. 6)
Notes:
• The shutter cannot be released while the lens is zooming.
• Do not apply force to the zoom lens as doing so causes damage to the camera.
Never place the zoom lens with the front side facing downward.
