Standing photography
Compose your shot, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length 
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good 
photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause 
the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a 
steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, 
hold your breath to minimize body...

Crouching photography
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep 
a straight posture.
Using the display

tilt the display up to 90° upwards (
) or 45° downwards ().
• Keep the display closed () when the camera is not in use.
• Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may damage 
your camera.

Aperture
The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The 
aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let 
light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture 
is related to the amount of light: a larger aperture allows more light and a 
smaller aperture allows less light.

Aperture value and the depth of field
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by changing the size 
of the aperture. A large aperture gives your photos a shallow depth of 
field (DOF). Objects immediately in front of or behind your subject will 
be blurred, while the subject will be in focus. A small aperture gives your 
photos a deep depth of field. Objects far in front or far behind your subject 
and your subject will be in focus.

Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the 
shutter. It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture 
before it reaches the image sensor.
Shutter speeds are measured in seconds and parts of a second. On 
many cameras, the shutter speeds are approximately halved with each 
succeeding setting - 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, etc. Like successive 
aperture settings, each successive shutter speed setting lets in...
