Step 2 – Frame the picture
Adjust the lens angle.
• From a position parallel to the camera
body, the lens section can be rotated
120° forward or 90° back toward the
monitor.
Ready the camera.
• Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
To avoid dark or partially obscured pic-
tures, keep your fingers and other ob-
jects away from the lens and flash
window.
Rotating the Lens Section
Care should be taken to avoid catching fingers, hair, or clothing in the lens sec-
tion when rotating it. When adjusting the angle of the lens, rotate the lens sec-
tion slowly; do not use excessive force.
Taking Pictures of Yourself
• To frame a quick arms-length self-portrait, rotate
the lens to point in the same direction as the mon-
itor. In this position, the monitor will show a mirror
image of what will appear in the final photograph.
• The shooting screen in the monitor will be smaller
than that of the normal shooting but the pictures
taken are not affected.
