Step 2 — Frame the Picture
1
Rotate the lens to shooting position
The lens can be gently rotated up to 180 ° forward
from the storage position (0 °) or 90 ° back to face
the user for a quick arms-length self-portrait.
When the lens is rotated to face the user, the moni-
tor shows a mirror image of what will appear in the
fi nal photograph.

Ready the camera
Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
Don’t Block the Shot
To avoid muffl ed sound or dark or partially obscured
pictures, keep fi ngers and other objects away from
the microphone, lens, fl ash, and AF-assist lamp. If
attached, the lens cap should be fully open to pre-
vent it from blocking the lens.
