Taking Pictures
Holding the Camera
How you hold the camera is important when taking pictures.
• Hold the camera firmly with both hands.
• Press the shutter release button gently when taking a picture.
• To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object
such as a table, tree, or wall.
• Use a tripod or the Shake Reduction function (p.27) to prevent camera
shake. However, do not use the Shake Reduction function when using a
tripod.
