Shooting Tips
Use the center AF point to focus.
Aim the center AF point in the viewfi nder on the subject, then shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed)
in the viewfi nder blinks.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfi nder’s
shutter speed display will blink. When using a zoom lens, consider
zooming out and either holding the camera steady or using a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, you can reduce the blur caused by camera
shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end.
