Basic Shooting and Playback Operations
3 Frame the picture.
• Move the zoom control or the side zoom control to change the zoom lens position.
• If you lose sight of the subject while shooting with the lens in telephoto position,
press the p (snap-back zoom) button to temporarily widen the visible area so that
you can frame the subject more easily.
C Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off )
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A17) to prevent potential errors caused by
this function.
• After attaching the camera to a tripod, make sure that the camera does not fall over
when zooming the lens in or out. Extend one leg of the tripod toward the subject
and the other two legs toward you at an equal distance.
• The camera may move slightly when operated, even if it is attached to a tripod,
which may interfere with the autofocus. Wait a few seconds after operating the
camera, and then slowly press the shutter-release button.
