Holding the Camera
The camera must be held correctly to ensure consistently sharp photographs.
It should be held steadily and comfortably while you are taking photographs.
Illustrations show the correct ways to hold the camera in both the vertical and
horizontal positions. Be careful not to block the flash, exposure sensor and lens
with your fingers. (Fig. F)
Viewfinder
Look through the eyepiece, compose your picture so that your main subject is
located in the center of the viewfinder. The camera will automatically focus on
whatever subject the focusing frame covers. When photographing subjects at
distances of 1.3m or more, use the yellow frame marks. The image within these
frame marks will appear on the film. When the subject distance is between 1.2m
and 1.3m, tilt the camera up slightly and use the parallax correction marks to
center your picture.
