HOLDING THE CAMERA
Camera held horizontally
Camera held vertically
For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly
as shown in the illustrations.
Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the
camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While taking
a picture, hold your breath and gently depress the shutter
release button. (Sudden force on the shutter release but-
ton will cause camera shake, making the picture blurred.)
* To reduce camera shake, support your body or the cam-
era on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance.
* Although there are individual differences among photog-
raphers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held
camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example,
1/75 of second when the focal length is 75mm, and
1/150 of second when it is 150mm. A tripod should be
used for shutter speeds slower than this.
* When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heav-
ier than the total weight of the camera and lens is rec-
ommended to avoid camera shake.
* This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical
and horizontal format positions.
* When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW F
or Cable Release is also recommended.
