Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the

so that it is handy for using the zoom.

(camera shake). Use a tripod to prevent camera shake,
particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash
mode is Suppressed flash.
● ! There may be some uneven brightness at the lower edge of
the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the
image.
3 Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do
not cover the lens or flash. If the lens or flash is
obscured, the brightness (exposure) of your shot
may be incorrect.
● ! Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as
informed on P.78.
● ! If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,
white dots may appear in the image due to flash reflecting off
the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash mode
to fix the problem.
