 • To avoid camera shake, hold it with both 
hands keeping your arms close to your 
body while standing with your feet slightly 
apart.
 • Do not touch the lens.
 • Do not hold the lens barrel as you take 
pictures. There is a risk that your finger will 
be trapped as the lens retracts.
 • Do not block the flash or the lamp. Do not 
look at it from close range.
 • Make sure that the camera does not 
move at the moment the shutter button is 
pressed.

We recommend attaching the shoulder strap (supplied) when using the 
camera to prevent it from dropping. (→13)
