Don't Move
When you're taking pictures,
hold the camera steady and
s(lueeze the shutter release.
I f you don't, you'll get
blurred pietures like 1li5-1
We've found that the two
ways shown at the right are
the best for holding the cam-
era steady.
You may wish to holcl the camera another way.
Two important things to remember are:
I Get a firm grip on the camera and brace it
against your f ace.
2 When taking the picture, slowly squeeze the
shutter release until you hear a click. Practice
with an empty eamera to get the feel of making
pietures without jiggling the eamera.
F'or horizontal pictures, hold the camera with
the shutter-release side up.

TIPS on F or:using o If you're not sure of the distance or wish to set the lens at a fixed focus, move the pointer to the click stop at the red 10. At this setting everything from 6 to 25 feet will appear sharp. Since most snapshots are taken within this range, you can use this setting most of the time. o THE DISTANCESETECTORSet the pointer to: Scenes for pietures of distant objects. Groups for pictures of a group of people. Close-ups for a close-up of one or two people. o For more selective focusing, carefully estimate the distance between the camera and subject. Turn the knurled lens mount until the pointer is at the desired distance. o INF on the focusing seale means infinity-the set- ting for objects more than 50 feet from the camera. t 4View original page 10
