BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)

Holding the Camera

For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly

as shown in the illustrations.

Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the

camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While tak-

ing a picture, hold your breath and gently press the shut-

ter release button. (Sudden force on the shutter release

button will cause camera shake, making the picture

blurred.)

• To reduce camera shake, support your body or the cam-

era on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance.

• Although there are individual differences among pho-

tographers, in general the shutter speed with a hand-

held camera is lower than the inverse of the focal

length. For example, 1/75 second when the focal length

is 75mm, and 1/150 second when the focal length is

75mm, and 1/150 second when it is 150mm. A tripod

should be used for shutter speeds slower than this.

• When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is

heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens is

recommended to avoid camera shake.

• This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical

and horizontal format positions.

• When a tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW CS-

105/CS-130 or Cable Release is also recommended.
