Shooting Tips

Use the center AF point to focus.

Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed)
in the viewfi nder blinks.

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.
