While using the electronic viewfinder (EVF) or LCD monitor, grip the
camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with the
palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet
shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily.
HANDLING THE CAMERA
CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING
The EVF has a built-in diopter that can be adjusted between
–5.0 to +0.5. While looking through the EVF, turn the diopter-
adjustment dial until the viewfinder image is sharp.
The electronic viewfinder can be tilted between 0° to 90°.
Simply grip the finder between your fingers and move it to the
position desired. Always store the camera with finder down
against the body.
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera-
shake warning will appear on the monitors; the shutter can still be released. Camera shake is slight
blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto setting of the lens
than at the wide-angle. The warning appears at approximately the reciprocal of the focal length used;
if the lens is set at 100mm, the camera shake warning will appear at 1/100 second. If the warning
appears, the following steps can be taken:
• Place the camera on a tripod.
• Use the built-in flash.
• Increase the camera sensitivity (ISO) (p. 70).
• Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position.
