Quick Start Basics

The front of the camera is a mirror, which make it easy to compose images even
when shooting a self-portrait. When shooting, hold the camera so the LED light is at
the top.

Precautions when shooting a self-portrait

• Depending on the shooting distance, the range of the

image being reflected by the mirror may be different from
the range of the image that will actually be shot by the
camera. It is recommended that you check images by
displaying them on the monitor screen after shooting
them.

Mirror Precautions

• The lens is approximately in the center of the mirror. Dirt in the area of the lens can

cause unwanted marks in recorded images.

• Do not scratch, press, or strike the mirror with strong force. Doing so can scratch or

soil the mirror.

• Damage or soiling in the center of the mirror (lens area) can interfere with proper

operation of the camera.

• Affixing protective film to the center (lens area) of the mirror can affect image

quality and interfere with proper operation of the camera.

• When shooting in a sunny area, the mirror will reflect sunlight. This creates the risk

of eye problems. Take care to avoid allowing sunlight to shine onto the mirror.
