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 taking a

picture, hold your breath and

gently depress the shutter

release button. (Sudden force on

the shutter release button will

cause camera shake, making the

picture blurred.)

Although there are individual differences among

photographers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held

camera is the inverse of the focal length.

For example, 1/75 of a second when the focal length is 75

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

should be used for shutter speeds slower than this.

When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable Release is

recommended.

● To reduce the camera

shake, support your body

or the camera on a solid

object- a table, tree, or a

wall for instance.

● When using an ultra-

telephoto lens, a tripod that

is heavier than the total

weight of the camera and

lens is recommended to

avoid the camera shake.
