Note: Keep the glass of the lens clean. Use a lens tissue to clean the lens. If

necessary, use special cleaning liquid for camera lenses. Do not use

a different cleaning product.

Tip: The quality of the photograph depends on the surrounding light. More

light will result in a better picture.

Tip: The number of photographs that can be taken depends on the

number of details of the object to be photographed. The photograph

indicator on the LCD screen is an approximation.

Tip: The image viewed through the viewfinder may be slightly different to

what is recorded through the lens. You can use the LCD for greater

accuracy.
