1
Hold the camera as shown.
Holding the Camera
Hold the handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body or
lens with your left. Keep your elbows propped lightly against your
torso for support and place one foot half a pace ahead of the other to
keep you upper body stable.
2
Frame a photograph in the viewfinder.
When looking through the viewfinder, the monitor will turn off and
the viewfinder display will turn on.
Photographs cannot be framed using the monitor.
Shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of
exposures remaining can be confirmed in the viewfinder. When the
viewfinder display turns off, press the shutter-release button halfway
to reactivate the display.
Position the main subject inside any of the three focus points, within which the camera focuses.
Using a Zoom Lens
Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject so that it fills a
larger area of the frame, or zoom out to increase the area visible
in the final photograph (select longer focal lengths to zoom in,
shorter focal lengths to zoom out).
